timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 8:03 pm My very most favorite coin in my raggedy collection is a 1945 Australian Penny. I just love it. I have a lot of British pennies but it's just not the same. The kangaroo maybe :) Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 8:06 pm the kangaroo penny was minted from 1938 until 1964. There was very little change in the reverse side. There were three obverses: 1938~48 KG6, "IND.IMP." in legend 1949~52 KG6, "IND.IMP." removed from legend 1953 QE2, no "F:D:" in legend 1954 no issue 1955~64 QE2, "F:D:" added to legend 1943 pennies were minted in Melbourne 11m, Perth 33m, and Bombay 9m. 1944 pennies were minted in Melbourne 2.45m, and Perth 27.8m Melb - no mintmark Perth - dot after PENNY Bombay - letter "I" (India) under King's head. Pennies were withdrawn from circulation in 1966. I suspect that a lot of Australian coins of the WW2 era went to the USA in the pockets of returning soldiers.
