And an extra special :birthday: to the 5c coin. I never thought you'd make it this far! :yahoo:

Also to the Wavy 20c. Do you realise just how sick I am of trying to find you? :dash1:

ha ha me too
never 'found' one or a $1 mule  

my little sister was born in '66 and i often look at her and think how she is as old as the decimal currency (though i'd never dare say it to her!!)

I was only 12 years old in 1966 and still in the UK, We didn't get to Australia until 1968.
The changeover for me was a bit more abrupt than most as one day I was using Pounds Shillings and Pence and a few days later I was using cents and dollars.
My oh My how time flies when you are Old :angel::laugh2:
