Values, images, and specifications for Australian coins.


Prior to 1910, Australia's

official currency was United

Kingdom coinage, although

in earlier years several

currencies circulated within

Australia, which at the time

was a collection of

British colonies.


The first post-federation Australian coinage was minted in

1910 in London, under King Edward VII.

Decimal Coins



pending


Pre-decimal currency was used from 1910 to 1964, based on the United

Kingdom's monetary system, with the same denominations and relative values.


1 penny = 1/12 of a shilling = 1/240 of a pound


The Australian threepence, sixpence, shilling, and florin were introduced in 1910,

the halfpenny and penny in 1911, and the crown in 1937.


Australia adopted the decimal system in 1966, replacing the penny with the cent,

and the pound with the dollar, and the ratio changed from 1:240 to 1:100.


Circulation issue denominations introduced in

1966 were: one cent, two cent, five cent, ten cent,

twenty cent, and fifty cent, with one dollar coins

introduced in 1984, and two dollar coins in 1988.


Circulation issue one cent coins were last minted

in 1990, and two cent coins in 1989, prior to their

gradual withdrawal from circulation, commencing

in 1992.
