when did the australian $1 coin come out
Australian one dollar coin It was first issued on 14 May 1984[3] to replace the one-dollar note which was then in circulation, although plans to introduce a dollar coin had existed since the 1970s.[3] The first year of minting saw 186.3 million of the coins produced at the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra.[3]
Australian two-dollar coin The Australian 2 dollar coin is the highest-denomination coin of the Australian dollar. It was first issued on 20 June 1988, having been in planning since the mid-1970s. It replaced the Australian two-dollar note due to having a longer circulatory life.[1]
Australian one-dollar note The Australian one-dollar note (or $1 bill) was introduced in 1966 due to decimalisation, to replace the 10-shilling note. The note was issued from its introduction in 1966 until its replacement by the one-dollar coin in 1984. Approximately 1.7 billion one-dollar notes were printed.
Australian two-cent coin The Australian two-cent coin was introduced in 1966 and was the coin of the second-lowest denomination until it was withdrawn from circulation in 1992 (along with the one-cent piece). It is still counted as legal tender, but is subject to some restrictions.[1][2]
