When did the Australian 1 and 2 Dollar coins come into circulation?

∙ 12y ago
In view of their minimal purchasing power, the Australian 1 and 2 cent coins had became virtually worthless and considering their value, they were relatively expensive to make.
The last Australian 1 cent coins were put into general circulation in 1990 and the last 2 cent coins were put into general circulation in 1989. They were both progressively withdrawn from circulation in 1994 and all prices rounded off to the nearest 5 cents.
The Australian 1 and 2 cent coins have not been de-monetised and are still considered to be legal tender and can be deposited in banks.
According to the Australian Currency Act of 1965, 1 and 2 cent coins are legal tender if, when submitted for payment, they do not exceed a combined value of 20 cents. There may be problems in getting a business to accept them however.
The one cent coin was minted for "Mint Packs" only in 1991.
The two cent coin was minted for "Mint Packs" only in 1990 and 1991.
The only decimal copper coins used in Australia were the one and two cent coins.
