cheungsta Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 08/24/2008 8:20 pm Sorry for the noob-like question, but I was wondering if any of you Australian coin collectors can point me to some sites where I can read up on pre-decimal Aussie coinage. I've been learning quite a bit here, but everything is scattered...I'd like to read up on the history and then about the each of the denominations, if there is a site with this kind of info. Thanks!

The last pre-decimals were issued in 1964. Decimal currency began to circulate on 14 Feb 1966. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
gnome Valued Member Australia 372 Posts	Posted 08/24/2008 9:01 pm Try this site as well. Has pretty well everything there. Also have a look around here. This site hasn't been updated in awhile and it's a private collection, well worth the look though. Report this Post to the Staff
ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 08/24/2008 9:34 pm I have to agree with Gnome. Until I got my hands on copies of Renniks and MacDonald's Australian coin and currency catalogs, the https://www.australianstamp.com website was my go-to for everything Australian related. I only wish the website was still updated and cared for, as it seems the business that keeps it has leaned toward stamps more than coins. Report this Post to the Staff

In no way am I being critical, this is a genuine attempt to understand how others perceive the site. Report this Post to the Staff
Billybob New Member Australia 14 Posts	Posted 05/25/2009 11:58 pm Hi triton I think your site is great and I love the simple logical layout. I'm a new collector and found your site chock full of very useful information and pictures particularly around the individual history and vagaries of Australian pre decimal coin production. Thank you. Edited by Billybob 05/26/2009 12:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
