The government launched an extensive public education campaign featuring Dollar Bill, a friendly cartoon character who appeared on television, posters and pamphlets. His catchphrase, 'Decimal Currency - The Easy Way', helped Australians understand the new system and ensured a smooth transition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cs1844654\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs475268B\"\u003eThe path to decimalisation required years of careful planning. A Decimal Currency Board guided the process, and a nationwide competition determined the name for the new currency. While suggestions like 'austral' and 'royal' were considered, 'dollar' emerged as the practical choice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs475268B\"\u003eThis anniversary set features six individually encapsulated proof coins presented in a display case with an informative booklet and outer box.
