For similar reasons that a US dime is smaller than the nickel, it just is.

Here is an archived video for the introduction of the (new) two-dollar coin in Australia during 1988. [All comments are welcome - however please ...

I have a Silver MINT condition 1 Dollar Australian HMAS Sydney II coin, in a little case. I won this about 7 years ago from the Royal Australian Mint in canberra.
I was wondering how much it would be worth now.

The 2000-dated HMAS Sydney II silver proof dollar retails for A$65 each based on Australian dealer's catalogue :

The coin, even the mintmarked aluminium-bronze version has seen a steady increase in value over the years.

Okay can anyone tell me what the Mass, diameter and thickness of the 1 Australian dollar coin?

Answers will be appreciated!
Thankyou in advance! x

I don't know, go measure it yourself?

If you don't have one, go to the Royal Australian Mint website or one one like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_ 1_dollar_coin

It's been years and taken multiple attempts to abandon the dollar bill and circulate the dollar coin. The silver dollar, Susan B. Anthony and the Sacajawea all failed to replace the George Washington bill. There should be a coin that is totally different than other cent coins and should be heavier to show value. They should make the coins to collect them, they should be made to spend.
The dollar coins at a similar value exists in many developed countries. They have coins including the Canadian Loonie and Toonie, the British pound and 2 pounds, the Australian Dollar and 2 Dollars, the Japanese 100 yen the 50 New Taiwan , and the 1 and 2 Euro coins.
The coins last much longer and saves a lot of money circulating and replacing than the dollar bill. They are easier to use in vending machines. The dollar bills are barely crispy and the machines always spit it out or maybe cause malfunction.

Yes, I agree. I have received some dollar coins recently and find them to be much more useful and easy to use. We also have 50 cent pieces that are almost completely out of circulation. Sometimes it seems the coin collectors are more in control of our money then the government.
