Life on the Coasts
Even though Australia is roughly the size of the continental United States, the vast majority of its landmass is uninhabited. This may have something to do with the fact that everything in the interior appears to be designed to kill people.
Life On The Coasts
Approximately 67% of the population lives in the largest coastal cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane, which together account for over half of the country’s total population. As a result, it is one of the most sparsely populated countries on the face of the earth!
Odd Australian Coins
Australia does not have round coins, unlike most of the rest of the world. Instead, their fifty-cent piece is shaped like a dodecagon, which means it has 12 sides. Unfortunately, it is also their smallest coin, the five-cent piece, which we imagine makes it difficult to change money at times.
Odd Australian Coins
In addition to their paper currency, Australians have a $1 and a $2 coin that they can use to make purchases. We, on the other hand, are still not over their 12-sided 50-cent piece. That’s incredible!
