In the Australian predecimal currency as with the currencies of most British Commonwealth countries, it was based on the old British currency of Pounds, Shillings and Pence.
The denomination of "Penny" dates back nearly 1,200 years. The "d" was a symbol used to denote Pennies and was derived from the Latin "Denarius", referring to a much earlier Roman coin.
When referring to British or British Commonwealth predecimal currencies, any number followed by a lower case "d" is referring to a value in Pence, hence 10d, is Ten Pence, as it might be written on a bus ticket or a proce tag in a shop.
