Australia's current currency is made up of the 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Dollar notes. General circulation coins include the 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins and the 1 and 2 Dollar coins. The Australian 1 and 2 cent coins were withdrawn from circulation in 1992.
Australia had its first issue of coins in 1910 and included the Threepence, Sixpence, Shilling and Florin. These were followed the following year with the Halfpenny and the Penny. Australian banknotes were first issued in 1913 and included the Ten Shilling, One Pound, Five Pound and Ten Pound notes. Prior to Australia having its own currency, we used British coins and banknotes on which the Australian currency was based.
