Farewell to the TEN Shilling and Welcome to the One Dollar!
On 14 February 1966, Australians woke to a brand-new currency. The decision to change from the Australian pound - with its awkward shillings and pence - to a decimal currency was a pragmatic, economic one, giving Australia the opportunity to assert itself as an increasingly self-assured and forward-thinking country.
This wasn’t just a question of personal convenience but of national productivity. Research had shown that decimalisation would save the Australian economy more than £11 million a year, which would quickly offset the £30 million cost of conversion.
