FAQs
Which countries are included in this collection?
Which countries are included in this collection?
This collection focuses on Oceanic banknotes, particularly from Australia and Fiji, with further Pacific currencies appearing as stock allows. Each listing shows the issuing country, denomination and condition so you can see exactly what's included.
When did Australia switch from pounds to dollars?
When did Australia switch from pounds to dollars?
Australia changed from the Australian pound to the Australian dollar on 14 February 1966, a date often referred to as Changeover Day. The pound had been in use since 1910, and the switch to decimal currency is still considered one of the smoothest currency reforms in the country's history.
When did Fiji introduce the Fijian dollar?
When did Fiji introduce the Fijian dollar?
Fiji introduced the Fijian dollar in January 1969, replacing the Fijian pound at a rate of two dollars to one pound. Fiji's currency had previously been kept at par with Australia's own pre-decimal system, which is part of why the two currencies share a similar history.
Do you sell Fijian pound (pre-decimal) notes?
Do you sell Fijian pound (pre-decimal) notes?
We can do, depending on availability. Fiji used pounds, shillings and pence until 1969, so older Fijian notes from before that date are collected alongside the decimal dollar notes that followed.

Condition is shown on each listing so you can choose what suits your collecting style and budget.

Value is usually influenced by condition, rarity and collector demand for the specific country, series and denomination.
