Australia Post is partnering with the Royal Australian Mint to produce a new collection of dollar coins that celebrate the iconic and admired symbols of Australian life.
The collection also marks the return of Australia Post’s most successful collectables program with the Great Aussie Coin Hunt 2.
The new coins range from the Akubra to Zinc sunscreen and include instantly recognisable Australian landmarks, like ‘Q’ for Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market and ‘S’ for the Sydney’s Harbour Bridge.
Executive General Manager, Community and Consumer at Australia Post, Nicole Sheffield said there were much-loved brands like M for MILO, T for Tim Tam and V for Victa Lawnmower; and even H for the popular and longstanding television program, Home and Away.
Ms Sheffield said the Great Aussie Coin Hunt 2 would again create a sense of fun and excitement with a touch of nostalgia as people reflected on their connection to the quintessentially Australian themes.
“We’re thrilled to once again partner exclusively with the Royal Australian Mint to celebrate 26 Australian icons and connect families and communities through the fun of the hunt and the good-humoured banter that it generates,” Ms Sheffield said.
“This year, we are releasing the full alphabet from the start of the hunt but they will be in limited supply, so we encourage those who want the full set to get in quickly to secure their collection of great Aussie memorabilia.”
