Currency Information on Australian Dollar - AUD — Australian Dollar - $

The Australian dollar symbol is sometimes prefaced with an A (A$) to differentiate it from other dollar currencies. One Australian dollar is comprised of 100 cents, but only 1 and two dollars can be found as coins singularly. The other subdivisions are notes in the form of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 and 5, 10, 20, 50 cent coins.

The obverse of all Australian coins are depicted with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Australia. 1 and 2 cent coins were minted and in circulation from 1964 until they were demonetarised in 1992 along with the 2 cent coin both of which were made of bronze. Despite being referred to as silver, the majority of Australia's coins are made predominantly of copper.
