    Australia joined the metric system on the 14th February 1966. It took about two weeks before it was running trouble free. Everything changed, including currency, on a single day. The system is pretty easy.

      True! We used to use pounds, shillings, pence as our currency and I’m very glad I never needed to deal with that shit.
