Description
Australia`s change to decimal currency on 14 February 1966 was not just a change in numbers
- It was a cultural shift. Schools, businesses and households had to adjust to a new way of counting, and the government launched one of the most memorable public education campaigns in Australian history. Enter ``Dollar Bill``, a friendly cartoon character who popped up on television, posters and pamphlets, cheerfully explaining the new system. His catchy jingle, Decimal Currency - The Easy Way! was designed to ease fears and help people make the transition smoothly.
- The lead-up to decimalization took year of planning. A Decimal Currency Board was established to guide the process, and a nationwide competition was held to choose a name for the new currency. While quirky suggestions like the ``austral`` and ``royal`` were floated, in the end ``dollar`` won out as the most practical choice. When Decimal Day arrived, it was met with a mix of excitement and trepidation. Shopkeepers and banks braced for confusion, but thanks to extensive public education, the transition was smoother than expected.
- This striking 2026 Six Coin Uncirculated Year Set celebrates 60 years of Australian decimal currency and the integral part of the Royal Australian Mint has played in its story.
