Since 1992 when the 2¢ and 1¢ coins were phased out, there are only five coins of value $1 or less in circulation in Australia: $1, 50¢, 20¢, 10¢ and 5¢. This means that there are exactly 50 ways to make a dollar out of change. The common trivia answer of 293 ways only applies to the U.S. system which has pennies and quarters.

If Australia had pennies, there would be 364 ways to make a dollar (slightly larger than the U.S. answer because the 20¢ coin can be utilised in more combinations than the quarter).

Prior to 1992, the correct answer was a whopping 4,583 ways to make a dollar! In fact 2¢ and 1¢ coins are still legal tender, so this answer could still be regarded as correct.
