The Australian Dollar comes in the following denominations:
$5, $10, $20, $50 and $100

Did you know? Australian coins feature images of the only two mammals in the world to lay eggs – the platypus and the echidna.
No worries! We’ll buy back any Australian dollars you have left quickly and easily at great rates!
