Currency

The Australian Dollar ($A) is a decimal currency with units in dollars and cents. One dollar is equal to 100 cents.

The Aussie currency falls into the following denominations:

$100 note	$2 coin
$50 note	$1 coin
$20 note	50 cent coin
$10 note	20 cent coin
$5 note	10 cent coin
	5 cent coin

The 1 and 2 cent coins have been abandoned and all prices that are not in 5 cent denominations are usually rounded up or down to the nearest 5 cents.

Australia has recently finished upgrading its bank notes to newer and stronger notes with plastic see-through windows.
