Coins of Australia

The coins of Australia include the coins of the current Australian dollar and those of other currencies historically used in the country. During the early days of the colonies that formed Australia, foreign as well as British currency was used, but in 1910, a decade after federation, Australian coins were introduced. Australia used pounds, shillings and pence until 1966, when it adopted the decimal system with the Australian dollar divided into 100 cents.
