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.

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? :)
