@coin dude, first welcome to CCF. Second, I'll recommend to the mods that your thread get moved to a more appropriate location so that the right eyeballs look at it.

The Australian penny has either the words "ONE PENNY" or a kangaroo stamped on it, depending on whether it was made before or after 1937. Conversely, the British penny has an image of Britannia, which has remained unchanged since at least 1860. I used to get them mixed up as well, because they're the same size and shape, but the British coins have a very different reverse to the Australian ones, so it's easy to tell the difference between them.  |

Well, for easier identification, it's easy to think "Australia" with the kangaroo dead centre on the coin. Kind of like the roadsigns.
Older pennies look a bit different but they also have "Australia" (commonwealth of Australia) written on them.
For the UK penny, you've got the Union Jack in the shield Britannia is holding. Atleast the outlines of the flag pattern.
