It depends on how much money you have to spend on a hobby. Australian Pennies were minted from 1911 to 1964, so there are not too many of them and if you do not set your goals too high, you should be able to manage a respectable collection of Australian Pennies without much trouble. The fact that they were minted for 54 years does not mean that there are only 54 different Pennies. There were no Australian Pennies minted in 1937 or 1954. In other years, Pennies were minted in more than one place, and sometimes overseas, so there are two or more slightly different versions of the same coin in some years. The Australian 1930 Penny is one of the rarest coins in the world, the 1925 and 1946 Pennies are not quite as rare, and one version of the 1920 Penny is also rare, so it is very possible that you may never have one of these in your collection. Australian Pennies should be a coppery brown in colour and they will all have Australia stamped on them. The design should be clear and well defined with no, or very little wear, the printing should be easily read and there should be no dents or scratches. Have fun.
