Fifty years since pounds and pence

[esayaf]

I was born in '67 so I have no memory of the old money.
Open day at the mint today. Special gold plated round 50 cent for those that visit.
I wish I was within driving distance to Canberra

How many lollies did you get for a penny? the4master. The earliest age I can remember buying lollies was about six. The most I could get for a cent was eight

All my Australian bank notes ended up in the charcoal chicken shop around the corner the first time I lost my job in 1993. Haven't been able to replace them ever since. Thankfully they were all circulated notes I put aside as they were withdrawn.

Around a year ago it was decided to stop making 5 cent coins but who knows when it will actually happen
