Before Australia adopted the decimal system in 1966, the country used the Australian Pound, issued by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and later the Reserve Bank of Australia.
These pre‑decimal notes followed the traditional British system of pounds, shillings, and pence, and featured designs that reflected Australia’s early national identity — including portraits of monarchs, allegorical figures, and scenes tied to the country’s development.
Although the Australian Pound has not been legal tender for decades, many of these notes still retain redeemable value, and some remain highly sought after by collectors due to their age, rarity, and historical significance.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we recognise the importance of these early issues and continue to accept a wide range of Australian Pound banknotes, even if they are worn, outdated, or no longer listed in modern catalogues.
