Austrian Schilling is obsolete

The Austrian schilling is indeed obsolete. It was the currency of Austria for most of the 20th century, from 1925 to 1938 and then from 1945 to 1999. The Austrian schilling was then phased out of circulation and replaced by the euro in 2002.

The history of the Austrian schilling goes back much further than its introduction in 1925. Following the Carolingian coin reform in 794 AD, new units of account were introduced, including the schilling, which consisted of 12 silver pfennigs. Initially, it was only a coin of account, but it later became an actual coin produced in many European countries. The schilling was established by the Schilling Act (Schillingrechnungsgesetz) on 20 December 1924, at a rate of one schilling to 10,000 kronen. The first schilling coins were issued in December 1923, in denominations of half schilling, schilling, and double schilling. The first schilling note, with a denomination of 100 schillings, was issued two years later. Over time, Austria's strict hard-currency policy saw the schilling become one of the most stable currencies in Europe, earning it the nickname 'Alpendollar'.

The Austrian schilling was abolished in 1938 following Germany's annexation of Austria. It was exchanged at a rate of 1.5 schillings to one Reichsmark. After World War II, the Allied Military reintroduced the schilling on 30 November 1945, issuing paper money in denominations ranging from 50 groschen to 1000 schillings. The Nationalbank also began issuing schilling notes in 1945, and the first coins were issued in 1946.

In 1993, all previous 20-schilling coins were reissued with smooth edges. In 1999, the euro became the official currency of Austria, and euro coins and notes were introduced in 2002. Old schilling-denominated coins and notes were phased out from circulation, and the schilling was replaced by the euro at a rate of €1 to 13.7603 schillings. The Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) will still exchange unlimited amounts of schilling banknotes and coins of the last series into euros for an unlimited period. However, schilling banknotes withdrawn before the introduction of the Euro on 1 January 1999 can no longer be exchanged.

US Dollar currency

The United States dollar (USD) is the official currency of the United States of America and its territories. It is the most exchanged currency in the world and is also the most widely used in international transactions. The dollar is divided into 100 cents, with coins in circulation ranging from 1 cent to $1, and paper currency in denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. The $ symbol is written before the numerical amount, and the dollar is also symbolised by this sign.

The US dollar was introduced at par with the Spanish-American silver dollar (or Spanish peso), which was widely circulated in the Americas, Asia, and Europe from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The US Mint began issuing coins in 1792, but even after this, locally minted dollars and cents were less abundant than Spanish American pesos and reales.

The US dollar became an important international reserve currency after the First World War, and displaced the pound sterling as the world's primary reserve currency by the Bretton Woods Agreement towards the end of the Second World War. As of 2021, currency in circulation amounted to US$2.1 trillion, $2.05 trillion of which was in Federal Reserve Notes, with the remaining $50 billion in coins and older-style United States Notes. By 2025, the Federal Reserve estimated that the total amount of currency in circulation was approximately US$2.37 trillion.

Austrian Schilling currency

The Austrian schilling was the currency of Austria from 1945 until 2002, when it was replaced by the euro. The schilling was established by the Schilling Act (Schillingrechnungsgesetz) of 20 December 1944, at a rate of one schilling to 10,000 kronen, and issued on 1 March 1925. The name "schilling" is directly related to the English shilling, with both words gradually evolving from a unified original name.

In medieval Austria, there were short and long schilling coins, valued at 12 and 30 pfennigs respectively. Until 1857, the schilling was a currency unit for 30 pfennigs or 7+1⁄2 kreuzers. The Austrian groschen (also known as the Kaisergroschen, or "emperor's groat") was a silver coin worth 12 pfennigs or 3 kreuzers. The Austro-Hungarian krone was introduced in 1892 upon the adoption of the gold standard, and the Austrian crown was introduced for Austria in 1919 upon the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In 1925, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank issued notes in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 100, and 1,000 schillings. In 1927–1929, a second series was added with 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 schilling notes. The one schilling was substituted by a coin. Silver coins were in the value of 25, 50, 100, 200, and 500 schillings, but gold coins also existed for 500 and 1,000 schillings. They were considered legal currency but were rarely found in actual transactions.

In 1945, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank introduced notes in denominations of 10, 20, 100, and 1,000 schillings, and the allied currency with small values up to 5 schillings remained valid until 1947. With the banknote reform of 1947, new notes were issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 1,000 schillings. Until 1957, the first 500 schilling banknote was issued, and the 5 and 10 schilling notes were replaced by coins. Between 1947 and 1952, coins in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 groschen; and 1, 2, and 5 schillings were introduced.

The currency stabilized in the 1950s, with the schilling being tied to the U.S. dollar at a rate of $1 = 26 schillings. Following the breakdown of the Bretton Woods system in 1971, the schilling was initially tied to a basket of currencies until July 1976, when it was coupled to the German mark. Although the euro became the official currency of Austria in 1999, euro coins and notes were not introduced until 2002. Old schilling-denominated coins and notes were phased out from circulation due to the introduction of the euro by 28 February of that year.

Today, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) will still exchange unlimited amounts of schilling banknotes and coins of the last series into euros for an unlimited period. The exchange rate is 1 euro to 13.7603 schillings.
