Before Australia switched to decimal currency in 1966, the country used pounds, shillings, and pence. The banknotes from this era are now highly regarded by collectors for their age, design, and historical significance. Pre-decimal Australian notes represent a distinct chapter in the country's financial history and are increasingly hard to find in good condition.
On Dealin, you can browse pre-decimal banknotes listed by collectors and sellers from all across Australia. Whether you are a seasoned numismatist or just starting out, this is a practical place to find, buy, and sell genuine pre-decimal Australian currency.
Listings cover notes issued by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and the Reserve Bank of Australia prior to 1966, spanning several decades of Australian history. Sellers from cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide list items here regularly, with postage available across Australia.
Age, condition, signature combination, and rarity all affect the value of pre-decimal notes. Some collectors focus on a particular denomination or era, while others aim to build a complete set. Dealin listings tend to cover a broad range of grades and price points to suit different collectors.
