Decimal Currency Act 1965

For the purpose of enabling savings banks carrying on business in this State to facilitate the transition of the banking business of those banks from the system of the old currency to the system of the new currency, the Governor may, in accordance with the provisions of the Bank Holidays Act 1919, appoint any day or days (being a day or days earlier than the fourteenth day of February 1966) to be a bank holiday or, as the case may be, to be bank holidays.

A day that is appointed as a bank holiday pursuant to this section shall not be deemed to be a holiday, or a bank holiday, or a public holiday for the purposes of any industrial award or for the purposes of the Tasmanian State Service Act 1984.
