Which currency was the first decimal currency issued by Australia in 1966?

The first decimal currency issued by Australia in 1966 was the Australian dollar.

Australia introduced the dollar on 14 February 1966, replacing the Australian pound. The change converted the country from a pounds, shillings and pence system to decimal currency, with one dollar equal to 100 cents.

The Australian dollar has the ISO 4217 code AUD and is commonly represented by $ or A$. Australia’s decimalisation campaign used the name “dollar” after considering alternatives, including “royal.” The currency is also used in several Pacific territories, including Kiribati, Nauru and Tuvalu, through monetary arrangements.
