Yep, for three years during world war II the US mint produced coins for our allies "down under". Three pence pieces were struck in San Francisco and Denver in '42 and '43, and in San Fran alone in '44.
These cute little coins were struck in silver more pure than our own circulating coins (British sterling standard = 92.5% pure vs. our own 90% pure). They weigh about a gram and a half each.
I'm offering three of these historically interesting silver coins: 1942 & 1943, both struck in Denver, Colorado, and the more scare 1942-S from the San Francisco mint. $10 for all three plus $1 postage.

We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.
