The name for the new decimal currency for Australia in 1966 was chosen after several suggestions were made, among them the royal, the austral, the pound and other names equally silly, but dollar was most popular, so it was chosen, despite the current Prime Minister wanting to call it the Royal. New Zealand decided to follow Australia, but Canada was earlier, as some have said.

we like things to the power of Ten like the METRIC SYSTEM... makes for easier computing

We used to have the Australian Pound until we went decimal in the mid sixties. We then decided that Australian Dollars were easier to use.

Why should we use Pounds?

We "should" use them? LOL
We are NOT a colony. We are an indepedent nation.
IF you think we should pounds then The USA should also use pounds because it used to belong to the United Kingdom.

Same argument.

At the time the countries were formed, the UK was still using pounds, shillings, and pence. The advantages of a decimal currency were so obvious that the countries elected to go that route, and called the currencies dollars as there was already a decimal currency with that name. Of course, the UK has now gone to a decimal currency also.

Just because we are part of the commonwealth dosent mean we use pounds.
We stopped using pounds in 1966

What she said ^
Why should we use the pound?
Even France use cents now.

Australia, New Zealand had the Pound until the 60's and apparently Canada did too, but until 1858.


But Why??
you should use clay pots and woven baskets.
