What I want to know is how Australia, originally (for the white man, I know that there were and are aboriginals) a British colony, ended up with dollars as their unit of currency, not pounds. ha.
Ummm, the US was also a British colony, and you chose your own currency .......

I might add that the original currency was Rum!
