2026 $1 60th Anniversary of Decimal Currency Four-Coin Set

In 2026, the Royal Australian Mint celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of Australian decimal currency by exploring six decades of our shared numismatic history. Australia in the 1960s was a young country wanting to assert itself on the world stage. The changeover to decimal currency was a symbolic and practical part of this. The government’s public education campaign, with the adorable cartoon character “Dollar Bill”, helped Australians make the changeover on 14 February 1966 without a hitch. While Stuart Devlin’s iconic and enduring circulating coin designs remain a timeless testament to this aspirational endeavour.
