The Royal Australian Mint Great Aussie Coin Hunt has begun for 2019

There's 26 to collect! - by Laura Barry

The Royal Australian Mint Great Aussie Coin Hunt has begun for 2019

At a time when cash is used less than ever and hobbies such as coin collecting have fallen by the wayside, one Australian institution plans to bring it all back into vogue with one well-orchestrated treasure hunt.

To celebrate all this Australia, Australia Post has partnered with the Royal Australian Mint to launch The Great Aussie Coin Hunt, a golden ticket-style scavenger hunt that aims to reinvigorate the once-fusty hobby of coin collecting.

Kicking off on Monday, September 30, 2019, 6 coins will be released every Monday until the 21st of October, 2019. There are 26 limited-edition $1 coins to collect, each one for a letter of the alphabet, an A-Z of iconic Australian images. 

The only way you'll be able to hunt these limited edition $1 coins is by visiting one of the 3600 Australia Post Offices around Australia - where the coins will be exclusively released into circulation. So, you'll need to check the change you get from an Australia Post purchase!

The first six coins to be released are A for Australia Post, F for footy, I for Iced Vovo, M for meat pie and X for the only Australian town beginning with X, Xantippe.

Check out some of the coins below.

T for Thongs
U for Ute
V for Vegemite
W for Weet-Bix™
X for Xantippe (a town in remote WA)
Y for Yowie (a creature described in Australian folklore)

So, drop your lamington, whack on your thongs, hop in your Ute and scoot down to Australia Post as quick as a Jackaroo to find them in your change. It's going to be cent-sational!
