| Additional information |
The Great Aussie Coin Hunt was a circulation campaign launched by the Royal Australian Mint in 2019 to drive public engagement with coinage at a time when cashless payments were measurably eroding coin handling in Australia. Twenty-six designs entered circulation simultaneously, one for each letter of the alphabet, each tied to an Australian noun — the "M" release among them. The campaign worked: hoarding was immediate and widespread, meaning a substantial portion of the mintage never circulated in any meaningful sense.
