The decimal system refers to counting in tens and powers of tens and this system was used when Australia was colonised by Britain in 1788. Decimal coinage was introduced much later - in 1966.

In which year was decimal currency introduced in Australia?

Australia's currency went decimal on 14th February, 1966. The decimal system is easier to use than others because it based on 10. The old Imperial monetary system was based on the old English system where there were 12 pennies in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound or, 240 pennies in a pound. Australia's system of weights and measures went metric for the same reason in about 1973 or 1974.
