People in the New Hebrides, where Australian currency and New Hebrides francs are both in use, should not find it difficult to adjust themselves to the new set-up when Australia adopts decimal currency in February.
If goods in a store are marked in Australian dollars and cents, and a customer wants to pay in New Hebrides francs, all he will have to do to find out what he owes will be to remove the decimal point (if any) and call it francs. Thus $2.25 will be equivalent to 225 francs; 75 cents will be 75 francs.
