Off topic.And just in case anyone is wondering whether Australia really is the sort of place it is reputed to be, I will tell you that I received a $1 coin in my change today.
When Australia converted to decimal currency, the reverse of the coins featured images of some of the slightly less venemous Australian animals. When the $1 coin was introduced, it had kangaroos on the reverse. Commemmoration issues had reverse designs of famous persons, anniversaries of major events (Federation, end of WW2, etc.) and the like.
The coin I received today featured the Zooper Dooper.

It’s part of an A – Z series of coins.
