We can help you to find the best Australian dollar exchange rate by comparing a wide range of UK travel money suppliers who have Australian dollars in stock and ready to order online now. Our comparisons automatically factor in all costs and commission, so all you need to do is tell us how much you want to spend and we'll show you the top suppliers who fit the bill.

Compare before you buy

Some of the best travel money deals are only available when you buy online. By using a comparison site, you're more likely to see the full range of deals on offer and get the best rate.

Order online

Always place your order online, even if you plan to collect your currency in person. Most supermarkets and high street currency suppliers offer better exchange rates if you order online beforehand.

Combine orders

If you're travelling with others, consider placing one large currency order instead of buying individually. Many currency suppliers offer enhanced rates that improve as you order more.

Australian dollar banknotes and coins

One Australian dollar ($) can be subdivded into 100 cents (c).

There are five denominations of Australian dollar banknotes in circulation: $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100; and six coin denominations: 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2.

As you'd expect, the Aussies have a plethora of nicknames for their currency. Most of the names refer to the bright colours of the banknotes; the pink 5-dollar note for example has at least 14 nicknames including 'fairy floss', 'pink snapper', 'prawn', 'piget' and 'rasher'.

In 2016, over 70,000 people signed a petition to officially rename the country's currency to 'dollarydoos' after the term was used in an iconic episode of The Simpsons. Sadly, the Reserve Bank of Australia declined the change, but you may still hear it used informally in conversations.
