Pennies Please! Commonwealth Treasury Note


Pennies Please!

Pennies Please!

Pamphlet distributed by the Commonwealth Treasury prior to the changeover to decimal currency on February 14th 1966. It urges the public to seek out pennies and spend them, cash them in or look out for the key dates to keep. It’s likely circa 1964 as this was the last year the Australian penny was minted. After this the focus was very much on the production of cents to provide enough to swap out every coin in circulation.
