Previous Australian Dollar Banknote Series

The Australian Dollar is issued and managed by the Reserve Bank of Australia, which oversees the design, production, and circulation of the nation’s banknotes. The current polymer banknote series, featuring advanced security features and iconic Australian figures, was introduced progressively between 2016 and 2020, replacing the first polymer series launched in 1992.

Australian coins are produced by the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra, which manufactures all circulating denominations as well as commemorative issues. Older notes and coins that have been withdrawn from circulation can still be exchanged at face value through the RBA or deposited at most banks.

What Is Australian Money Called?
Australian money is called the Australian Dollar (AUD), symbolized as $ or A$ to distinguish it from other dollar currencies.

Locally, Australians often refer to their currency as the “Aussie,” “buck,” or “dough.” The Australian Dollar is one of the world’s most traded currencies.
What Money System Does Australia Use?
Australia uses a fiat currency system, meaning its value is based on trust in the government and the strength of the Australian economy rather than on gold or silver reserves.

The Australian Dollar (AUD) became the official currency in 1966, replacing the Australian Pound as part of the transition to decimalization. This system allows flexibility in monetary policy and easy participation in global markets.
What Kind of Money Is Used in Australia?
Australia uses both polymer banknotes and metal coins as part of the AUD system.

The current polymer note series, released between 2016 and 2020, features advanced security elements and vibrant colors. The currency is fully decimalized — one dollar equals 100 cents — making it simple to use for everyday spending and international exchange.
How Much Is One American Dollar in Australian Dollars?
As of the latest mid-market rate, 1 USD ≈ 1.54 AUD, though exchange rates constantly fluctuate based on global market conditions.

To get real-time and accurate conversion data, use our online currency converter. Whether you’re traveling, investing, or exchanging, our tools help you find the best moment to convert.
Is AUD Getting Stronger Against USD?
The AUD/USD exchange rate varies depending on economic performance, commodity prices, and global investor sentiment.

In recent months, the AUD has shown short-term volatility rather than a consistent strengthening trend. For instance, it moved between 1.5340 and 1.5438 USD/AUD during October 2025.

You can use our exchange rate alerts to get notified when the AUD moves in your favor or follow our historical graph to spot long-term patterns in the Australian Dollar’s value.
