About Australian Pounds Exchange
The Australian Pound (AUP) was the official currency of Australia from Federation in 1901 until it was replaced by the Australian Dollar in 1966. We accept all denominations of Australian Pound banknotes and coins across every series issued, including older and worn examples.
Current Australian Pound Banknotes
The Australian Pound was fully withdrawn from circulation in 1966 and is no longer legal tender in Australia. There are no current-series banknotes to speak of — every Australian Pound note in existence today is a historical piece, spanning several distinct series issued between the early twentieth century and the early 1960s.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we specialise in exactly these kinds of withdrawn and historical banknotes. We accept notes from all Australian Pound series, including the early 1913–1924 Series, the 1933–1939 Series, and the later 1953–1960 Series, among others — covering denominations from shillings up to the high-value pound notes. Damaged or worn notes are also considered, provided they remain at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower to reflect their condition.
Australian Pound Coins
We also accept Australian Pound-era coins, including half sovereigns such as the 1923–1927 Half Sovereign. As with all coins, rates are slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling involved, but we are one of the few services in the UK that will buy these at all.
