Commentary – Australian Money

They do not have pennies! The smallest bill is the $5. There are $1 and $2 coins. The great irony is that the smaller the coin the larger the value. The $2 coin is smaller than the $1 coin and much smaller than the 50c coin. Eventually, you end up with a pocket full of coins and you are always trying to get rid of them. In the US, it is easy to just take your spare change and put it in a jar. In Australia, the spare change matters and you have to take care of it.
