My Aussie $1 Coin Collection
$1 Coin Collection
Approximately 3 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 yesterday when I came across them buried in some storage boxes in the house..... I was sooo excited and am a little bit of a nerd!
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.
Thanks for reading.

nice collection
I reckon I've spent more than my fair share of $1 coins on Chiko Rolls and Farmers Union Iced Coffee.
Nice collection man. I started collecting some of those $1 coins too but they're all circulated. If I was starting now I'd get them pristine and put them in capsules.
One day they will be a relic and a reminder of what this place was like when we used government issued fiat currency. They belong in a museum! :p
I have some one and two dollar notes floating around someplace. I should really find them and put them someplace safe!
Circulated or not still very nice to have!
I can understand your excitement, finding those stashed away would make anyone jump for joy!!!
We had a $5 coin at one point. Haven't seen one of those in a while. (1988)
Great money
Wow, that's a really nice collection!
Are you a stacker now?
Maybe in the near future we will have a bitcoin !!!
