How many cents are there in a Australian dollar?

The Australian dollar, like most decimal currency systems, is divided into 100 cents. This decimal system was adopted in 1966 when Australia switched from the Australian pound to the decimal dollar system. Each cent represents one-hundredth of a dollar, and coins are issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents, as well as 1 and 2 dollar coins.
