I'm sorry they changed the shape of the 50c piece I loved the round one, it was 80 silver

That Colored Version was Released in Australian Cinemas shown before Disney's horror animated feature "DRACULA" (1965) on February 10, 1966 before the Decimal Currency

The generations that allowed this to happen will go down in history as the biggest sheep to graze the earth
Comment from : Charles

They left out the thorny problem of halfpennies, pennies and threepences, which didn't have a conversion to an integral number of cents Merchants made a modest profit by rounding upbrGood ad though And I still like the old coins
Comment from : bigsiman

I was 8brMy mother gave me the first Dollar bill I'd ever held, I went to the shop for her and bought 4 packs of cigarettes and some lollies for myself with the change brThe good old days
Comment from : Neon Blade

Interesting that in the map at @1:54 something that appears to be Newfoundland isn't covered in DCs, while Newfoundland had been part of Canada with decimal currency for 15 years at this point (and even before that the Newfoundland dollar was decimal too)

Comment from : Jai Mathur

Comment from : ZgermanGuy

Comment from : squatter

In 1965 I was in grade 2, and remember Mr Dollar being talk about a lot by our teacher In 1966 when I was in year 3, and we started doing money arithmetic, and remember our teacher say it by how lucky we are compared to student last year because decimal money arithmetic was now very much easier than last year
Comment from : David Abulafia

Why am I watching this
Comment from : The4thDoor

The original performer on the PIF was the late William Clauson, who was a renowned folk singer in his native Australia, the jingle was based on the folk tune Click Go The Shears, which appeared on an album by him made for EMI We pretty much know the version by Rolf Harris, that dated originally from 1965 and was on his EMI album All Together Now

Adding or subtracting in the LSD system is doable but try dividing that example problem by 7 Turns into quite the ordeal

I’m only getting this video recommended cos I watched a video on the British changing from their old currency to the decimal currency and I only watched it because I was curious what the old way of paying was

Comment from : Daniel Warren

Dollar Bill is cute
Comment from : Ann Oldham

Making coins with the same value the same size is actually really smart
Comment from : Caspar von Campenhausen

3:05 sneaking in a killroy reference truely an ageless meme
Comment from : mimikyoo

The original 050 cent was round, but they found it could be confused with the 020 cents coin so added the 12 edges to the 050 cent to make it feel unique It was however officially stated it was changed to 12 sides due to it face value becoming lower than it metal used value
Comment from : Handsome Muggle

That was fun!!! I am very grateful not to have had to live through that time lol My maths is not up to that!
Comment from : Karen McNeill

Fascinating
Comment from : Langus langus

Imperial Currency is far superior to American currency None of that decimal crap!!
Comment from : Elkabong53708

Those coins look beautiful
Comment from : Kauê Moura

Hence the confusion about how to write the dollar symbol with one stroke (officially) not the two depicted in the film
Comment from : Alan Brookes

1:13 - Carry the 20 no one says that except my university!
Comment from : MarioStar13

You will notice that the Aussie dollar symbol $ was originally designed with TWO vertical strokes not one like the US dollar this was to distinguish it from theirs but from an early time Australians, businesses, banks etc just couldn’t be bothered and emulated the US dollar with One vertical stroke, but to this day l have always stroked the $ sign twice as it was meant to be just by habit since 1966
Comment from : James Govett

The math for adding money in the old system looked pretty convoluted
Comment from : Harrison Borbarrison

Oh, is THIS why I never got any coins older than 1966 in my change when I visited Sydney a couple years ago? I'd always wondered about that, since back home in the US as well as in Canada I'd at least occasionally see coins from the 50s and older
Comment from : yangj08

That’s really really catchy
Comment from : Ferrus Manus

Here in the UK when we were going through decimalisation completed on 15 February 1971 Can remember the group Scaffold use to sing short memory public information songs like "Give more get change", "Use you old money in 6 penny lots" etc I can still remember they use to show this Australian film and even now if someone were to ask what date was Decimal day in Australia, can't help but sing "On the 14th of February 1966" :)
Comment from : Christopher Dunn

I can not understand the shillings system
Comment from : Cubi Phan

I find it interesting that they chose to make the Australian Dollar half the value of the Pound
Comment from : James Tilsley

Ugh, that voice! Apart from that it's a very clever and entertaining little tutorial I wonder why they didn't show pictures of the new notes along with the new coins Oh, and thank heaven they didn't go with the Royal, which at one stage was definitively announced as the name of the new currency

Celebrating this anniversary instead of Valentine's day 👍

It's like they say, you would find everything on YouTube We used to watch this ad on television way back on 14 th of February 1966, while living in beautiful Australia
Comment from : Carmel Fenech

No one would make comments about housewives in the 21st century, like by saying it is the job of housewives to do the shopping, or the ironingbrOh, wait
