Australia stopped one and two cents coins decades ago. It's sad to have to live with a system where the numbers are just two or even five times larger than they should be, but I suppose worse things have happened.

I don’t think it’s sad. Just the reality of constant inflation. And the $1 and $2 notes were replaced with coins, which are much better.

I’m hoping the 5c coins will go soon, and we’ll get an $5 coin.

Nice. I like the triangular one, but not sure how practical it would be in general circulation.
