<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbandy, post: 1063199, member: 20695&quot;]I visited Australia for two weeks last January. They have a bunch of different types of coinage that actually circulates. Looking through the three day accumulation I brought home I have the following:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>10x half dollars</p><p>7x 20 cent pieces</p><p>8x 10 cent pieces</p><p>8x 5 cent pieces</p><p>4x 2 dollar coins</p><p>1x 1 dollar coin</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Their &quot;paper&quot; notes have been made of polymer since 1988, and they no longer have circulating one dollar notes or 1 cent pieces. As a result the two dollar and one dollar coins are well used as a result. They also utilize different sizes for the paper currency to assist the visually impaired. Pretty interesting. Based on my experience, I fully agree with the gents who suggest the government could get everyone on board with the dollar coins if we eliminated the one dollar bill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
