Australia Coin List

Australian numismatics offers a fascinating history that reflects the evolution of the country from its colonial origins to its current status as a modern nation. Australia's monetary system has undergone significant changes over the years, with coins representing the country's rich culture and identity.

Current currency in circulation

The Australian dollar has been the official currency of Australia since 1966. Coins in circulation include denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, as well as $1 and $2. These coins feature iconic designs celebrating native Australian wildlife, such as the kangaroo, emu and platypus. The Royal Australian Mint is responsible for the production of these coins, which are characterized by their high quality and durability.

Monetary history and relevant facts

Before the introduction of the Australian dollar, the country used the Australian pound, which was pegged to the British pound sterling. An important milestone in Australian numismatics was the minting of the first official coin in 1813, known as the Holey Dollar. In more recent times, Australia has gained recognition for its innovations in coin production, including the introduction of the first polymer circulation coin in 1988 and the creation of commemorative coins of great collector value.
