- Keep the coins (except the $1, $2 in Image:Australia 2006 circulating coins.jpg which could be cropped out). It is only copyrighted if the designs were made after 1 May 1969. [1] The 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, and the pennys, shillings etc. date to before this. also, nos. 9) and 10) are graphs, why are they nominated? --Astrokey44 01:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

- Keep deletion request by a gone wild bot (see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category%3AMoney_of_Australia&diff=4929968&oldid=3270781 ), which was now blocked by me for three days. --ALE! ¿…? 11:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I think the whole copyright thing on currency is silly. We must take a step back and remind ourselves the ultimate reason why the concept of "copyright" exists. It exists because people that make money from creativity, like writers, actors, composers, or even computer programmers can actually make a living without worrying about their output being copied without getting their due profit. Now, if I copy the images of currencies 1000 times, does that hurt whoever the engravers/designers are? NO! The state paid them already and that's it.
- Providing encyclopedic content should be the first priority. Copyright is only a constraint, not a goal. Everyone knows about {{PD-old}}. The nominator, of all people, should be even more aware of it. By nominating something as old as 1888 suggests that the nominator is confused about what our priorities are here on Wikipedia. --Chochopk 09:22, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep no reason to get copyright paranoid. -Nard 21:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep regarding copyright of money, it exists (if it even does) to prevent forgery. As such the exact laws that I'm generally aware of (of course it varies from country to country) is that you are allowed to make copies, but they either are not allowed to be high enough resolution to be used as forgeries (which none of these images could be used for) or the can be of very high resolution/quality but it must otherwise be clear they are not real (for instance I have a million dollar note, obviously nobody could seriously believe this note is real! Thus it is fine, even though it is copied elements from real notes). Mathmo 11:46, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Keep as per discussion above. Yann 15:47, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
