Thread Name: BS: Happy Birthday Decimalisation
Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Decimalisation
I thought this was about Oz decimalisation!

to the tune of 'Ring the Bell, Watchman'/'Click go the Shears' -

In come the dollars, in come the cents
To replace the pounds, shillings and pence
So be prepared when the money starts to mix
On the 14th of February, 1966.

I have a bookcase that my dad never painted - the price on the side shows as 4 pounds 10 shillings (can't do pound symbol), $9 - dual prices were used for the first 2 years.
