Decimal Currency – Mr. Dollar the Musician

Loading the player...

This advertisement was produced to promote the adoption of the new decimal currency coins from 10 July 1967.

Mr. Dollar takes a break from practising his notes and introduces the new decimal currency.

The catchy jingle proclaims: "You'll be using these, from the 10th of July next yeaaar." In an integrated approach, the same jingle was used in the radio advertisements promoting the new decimal currency – which also referenced Mr. Dollar.
