Australian notes and coins

The Australian dollar is made up of 100 cents. It comes in $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 dollar notes, as well as 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 coins. 

The best thing about Australian banknotes? Since they’re made from a synthetic plastic material called polymer, you can accidently put them through the wash and they won’t fall apart (well, probably… we wouldn’t suggest trying this on purpose!).. 

Fun facts about AUD

The Australian dollar was introduced in 1966, replacing the previously used Australian pound.

The Aussie dollar was initially going to be called the "royal" (this suggestion was rejected for not being “true blue” enough).

Australia was the first country in the world to have their banknotes made from polymer.

Bronze 1c and 2c coins were removed from circulation in 1992. They were melted down and used to create the bronze medals awarded in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
