My Australian $1 Coin Collection
$1 Coin Collection
A few years ago, I lost my beloved coin collection. For a number of years, I had been collecting Australian $1, 50c and 20c that have been released by the mint here in Australia as special or commemorative pieces. But that all changed when I came across them buried in some storage boxes in the house.....
So without further ado, here are the coins in no particular order:
This is one of the first minted $1 coins from 1984 when they were first released.
Australian Volunteers Commemorative Coin - 2003
Centenary of Commonwealth Aged Pension - 2009
Centenary of Federation - 2001
Sir Charles Kingsford Smith Commemorative Coin - 1997
Landcare Australia Commemorative Coin - 1993
Barcelona Olympiad Coin - 1992
Bicentennial Commemorative Coin - 1988
International Year of Volunteers - 2001
International Year of Peace - 1986
World War II Commemorative Peace Coin - 2005
Centenary of Womens Suffrage Coin - 2003
Waltzing Matilda Commemorative Coin - 1995
Year of the Outback Commemorative Coin - 2002
International Year of Older Persons - 1999
The Last Anzacs Commemorative Coin - 1999
Some of the photos are a little blurry as these are circulated coins and some had been in circulation for many years. I'm not too fussed about them being in 'mint' condition, I'm just a collector of memorabilia.
Thanks for reading.

I love the Bicentennial coin. I should actually make sure I have one in my...er..."collection" I guess XD (they are so badly stored).
Yay for finding your coin collection! Did you forget where you put it when moving/cleaning up? :)
