More Things About Money- Australian Slang

The Australian dollar is the official currency and is abbreviated as AUD. The value of the Australian dollar is stable compared with many other currencies, so it attracts investors from all over the world

Decimal currency (dollars and cents) was introduced in Australia on 14 February 1966. The Royal Australian Mint in Canberra, ACT is responsible for the design and minting of Australia’s circulating coins. Australia’s currency notes are printed in Melbourne, Victoria by Note Printing Australia Limited, a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of Australia.

No matter where the money is made, we never seem to have very much of it. Now if we could just win the lottery!
