Title: The Australian One dollar Post by: EgCollector on September 09, 2010, 06:18:19 PM The Australian One dollar The $1 coin was first introduced on 14 May 1984. Planning for a $1 coin commenced as early as the mid-1970s. It was recognized that Australia needed a higher value coin which could be practically used in coin operated machines and to replace the $1 note which had a short service life through high use. Mr. Stuart Devlin was commissioned to design the reverse of the new coin. The five kangaroos design was chosen from submissions received from the designer. Composition; 92% copper 6% aluminium 2% nickel Shape; circular Edge; interrupted milled Weight; 9.00 gm Diameter; 25.00 mm Please share with your High grades Best designs you like Errors and varieties Latest find in circulation And whatever you have on this series Thanks :) Title: Re: The Australian One dollar Post by: EgCollector on September 09, 2010, 06:19:24 PM 2009
