Answer 2

I have no idea if there is an Australian site down under or not. If you live there a dealer must have a book on it's coinage. The only other book would be Krause/Mishlers Standard catalog of World coins. You would need 2 volumes one 1901-2000 & 2001 to present. Most countries that have a coin collector base have books on it's own coins and paper currency that are usually not available to say someone here in the States. I can get Canadian one and UK ones but have never seen any from down under or say France or Germany, I could not read them anyway. At least Australia and NZ use English. The Krause books are big here for they cover all the countries from 1601-2007 in 5 books. Good luck on your search.
