| Additional information |
Borobi — the blue koala mascot of the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games — was named through a public competition, with the word drawn from the Yugambeh language of the Games' host region. These colored dollar coins were released into general circulation rather than sold only as collector issues, making worn examples genuinely common and pristine roll finds the ones worth noting. The pad-printed color application does not survive heavy handling, so circulation wear tends to manifest first as color loss rather than metal wear.
