Best Answer

Before 1788, when the Europeans came to Australia, there was mostly rough trade, and barter, but after 1788, there were many types of currency used. One of the first types of currency used in Australia was the Police Fund Notes. These bills were issued by the Bank of New South Wales in 1816.
