A fantastic way to celebrate the 60th anniversary of decimalisation in February 1966, we are delighted to present Australia’s VERY FIRST decimal notes – in strictly Uncirculated quality!
Promises to modify the predecimal system were made during the 1958 election campaign by Prime Minister Robert Menzies. Following the report of a Government committee, the Treasurer Harold Holt announced in April 1963 that Australia would convert to decimal currency. The changeover was remarkably smooth, and the notes and coins that had served Australia so well for over 50 years were replaced by a striking new set of decimal denominations – including four new banknotes.
Symbolising the most momentous change in the history of Australian currency, the first decimal banknotes were issued to the public on C-Day (Currency Day), February the 14th, 1966. Comprising the $1, $2, $10 and $20 notes – with the $5 not issued until 1967 – the first decimal notes carried the signatures of the Governor of the RBA, Herbert Coombs, and the Secretary to the Treasury, Roland Wilson.
Scarce today, particularly the higher denominations, Australia’s first decimal notes are, however, surprisingly affordable in premium grade. A compelling commemoration of Australia’s currency crossroads, and a keepsake to hand down the generations, you can now secure the 1966 Coombs/Wilson First Decimal Banknote 4-Note Set in strictly Uncirculated quality – for just $799!
