Apart from the year, the fact that Queen Elizabeth II has aged and a few commemorative coins with different designs, Australian decimal coins look pretty much the same as they always have. There are no longer any one or two cent coins and the One and Two Dollar coins have been introduced into the currency. See the Royal Australian Mint link below.
