Hi,

Is it possible to set the currency to Australian dollars in OpenCart Version 2?

You can go to admin > System > Localisation > Currencies > Edit US Dollar and change Currency Title, Code, Symbol Left, Symbol Right to Australian $.

I have the similar issue since I want to set to Costarican Colones. I change US$ to Costarican Colones and then add US$ again to have both currencies but somehow he always puts US$ to my base currency even I put Colones with 1.00000?
Did it work with Australian $? What happens if you have a second currency as US$.
If I delate USD totally I get error message since it seams that he need USD for currency exchange rate.
Is there another place where you can eliminate USD as base currency?

Thank you viethemes.
I did what you said. Just wondering, what would the setting be for symbol right? I don't think I need one. Thanks.

Also I got an error after changing USD to AUD when trying to load my shop:
Notice: Undefined index: USD...etc.

The "correct" approach here is to add the new currency, not change an existing one.

In the admin go to System->Localisation->Currencies and add the Australian Dollar (or other currency), then go to your store settings and set this as the store's default currency. It would probably be necessary to then go back to the currencies page and edit your new "default" currency and give it a value of "1" (one).

There is no "symbol right" for the Australian Dollar. While most currencies have their currency symbol (e.g. the "$" sign) on the left, some have it on the right.

Sorry for this inconvenience.
I have forgot to mention to go to admin > System > Settings > Edit your store > click Save to set Australian $ to the default currency after changing USD to AUD.
Or you can try the guide of @fido-x
