10 Cents - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - 50th Anniversary of Decimal Currency

Australia converted to decimal currency on 14 February 1966 — "Decimal Day" — replacing the pound with the dollar at a rate of two dollars to one pound. The transition involved one of the largest public education campaigns in the country's history, including a jingle that aired so relentlessly on radio and television that Australians of that generation can still recall it on demand. This 2016 issue marks fifty years of that changeover.
