I've heard Australians say "no worries" (often with a trailing "mate") a lot. I always thought it originated there.

As an Australian I can say that "no worries" is very common here (ocker). It has a bit of an ambiguous meaning as it implies that the person saying thank you didn't really need to, but at the same time it is a means of acknowledging that you recognise and appreciate the thank you.
