Talk:Coins of the Australian pound

In 1898 the British government allowed two colonies, New South Wales and Victoria, to mint silver and bronze coins at their mints in Sydney and Melbourne respectively.

I have never heard of this, only gold coins. Enlil Ninlil 10:50, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

1954 commemorative florin
There was also a commemorative florin minted in 1954, featuring a lion and kangaroo standing beside each other on the reverse. (I received one in my change the other day.) I believe it was minted for the Royal Vist of 1954. Does anybody have any images of this to place with the three earlier commemorative florins? --TripleThree 08:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:1951-Australian-florin-obverse.JPG
Image:1951-Australian-florin-obverse.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Fair Use Rational shouldn't be required
Apparently Australian copyright only applies to coins after 1969, 1 so there's no need for any fair-use tags here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martybugs (talk • contribs) 13:14, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Pre-1937 Coins
The bulk of the coins shown here are post-1937 stuff.

The pre-1937 stuff (where the silver coins follow the pattern of the sixpence), is not really represented.

Nor is there a version of the 1937 crown.

 * I came here wondering why there wasn't a page for the Australian crown, so I have taken the liberty of creating it: Crown (Australian coin). Freikorp (talk) 13:06, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Farthing
In the early 1960s I frequently saw Farthings. Why are they not on this list? Zoetropo (talk) 23:45, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
