All about Aussie currency

Australia was the first country to introduce polymer (plastic) banknotes in 1988. These notes are more durable, secure, and resistant to damage compared to paper notes. They also feature vibrant colors and intricate designs.

Before the Australian Dollar (AUD) was introduced, Australia used the Australian pound (AUD), which was pegged to the British pound. This system was in place from 1910 until 1966. The transition to the Australian dollar was part of Australia’s effort to establish its own identity post-World War II, and to improve economic ties with countries like the United States and Japan.

Dollar notes and coins

The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents, and its coins and notes feature a rich blend of history and culture unique to Australia.

The notes, which are made of durable polymer, are available in $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 denominations.

Coin denominations include the 5-cent, 10-cent, 20-cent, 50-cent, $1, and $2 coins. The coins showcase iconic Australian animals like the kangaroo, lyrebird, and echidna, as well as symbols like the Australian coat of arms.
