Description
60th Anniversary of Decimal Currency
Australia's change to decimal currency on 14 February 1966 was not just a change in numbers, it was a cultural shift. Schools, businesses and households had to adjust to a new way of counting, and the government launched one of the most memorable public education campaigns in Australian history. Enter "Dollar Bill", a friendly cartoon character who popped up on television, posters and pamphlets explaining the new system.
This striking 2026 six coin proof set celebrates 60 years of Australian decimal currency.
- Packaged in a presentation display case.
- Struck to the Mint’s Proof finish
- Each coin bares the effigy of King Charles III
- The set includes custom reverses on the 10c and 50c coins celebrating both Australia's pre decimal and decimal coinage.
