Finding Australian money resources can be very difficult, I have found an excellent resourt from Rosetta Primary which can be found here. I'll let Rosetta describe it.
"The following virtual manipulatives were developed at Rosetta Primary School to help our year 2 & 3 students learn about the value of Australian coins.
Manipulatives are generally defined as concrete models that incorporate mathematical concepts, they appeal to one or more of the senses and can be touched and moved around by students, some examples are materials as simple as counters to more specialized materials like MAB 10 blocks. A virtual manipulative is a type of computer-based learning resources that is a dynamic visual representation of a concrete manipulative that can be manipulated by the user.
One of the difficulties in working with money is that although coins and notes are concrete models of themselves, they are not proportional in relation to their values. The ability of the computer to dynamically link concrete and symbolic representations makes it an ideal medium for developing instruction related to teaching the value of money. "
