Australia changed from pounds shillings and pence in 1966 to the current decimal currency system. Many of our pre-decimal coins had a silver content in them. Many of our current decimal coins have had various different motifs changed on them over the years making them collectible by many. The notes also changed from a paper type to the current plastic type.
