2026 Proof Set

Australia's change to decimal currency on 14 February 1966 was not just a change in numbers; it was a cultural shift. Schools, businesses and households had to adjust to a new way of counting, and the government launched one of the most memorable public education campaigns in Australian history. Enter "Dollar Bill", a friendly cartoon character who popped up on television, posters and pamphlets, cheerfully explaining the new system. His catchy jingle, Decimal Currency - The Easy Way! was designed to ease fears and help people make the transition smoothly. This six coin 2026 Proof Set, with its commemorative 10c and 50c coin, pays tribute to this moment in history.
