<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dnas, post: 5363102, member: 93707&quot;]I&#039;m from Australia, but currently live in Japan. The Australian 1 &amp; 2 cent coins, and those of New Zealand and Fiji were similar, and followed a similar path.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, all of the 1cent coins are a similar diameter, all had similar dates of issue and withdrawal, all are demonetized:</p><p>- Australia:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Bronze, Diameter = 17.53mm, thickness = 1.5mm, 1966-1984</p><p>- New Zealand: Bronze, Diameter = 17.5mm, thickness = 1.18mm, 1967-1985</p><p>- Fiji:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Bronze, Diameter = 17.5mm, thickness = 1.05mm, 1969-1985</p><p><br /></p><p>The same was true of 2 cent coins, same dates, but again just a slight different diameter, and different thickness.</p><p><br /></p><p>In Australia, it was quite common to see New Zealand 1 &amp; 2 cent coins, and you would occasionally see 1 &amp; 2 cent Fijian coins as well. (these usually passed for Australian 1 &amp; 2 cent coins, if people didn&#039;t notice.)</p><p><br /></p><p>(There seem to have been more than 20 million 1c, and 40 million 2c coins minted for general circulation, not minted on all years however)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
