| Additional information |
The Great Aussie Coin Hunt was a Royal Australian Mint circulation campaign that released 26 lettered dollar coins — one for each letter of the alphabet, each paired with an Australian animal or icon — into everyday change beginning in 2019. The premise was deliberate: drive public engagement with circulating coinage at a time when cash transactions were declining sharply across Australia. It worked. Supermarkets reported customers specifically requesting coin change, and secondary market premiums appeared almost immediately on letters perceived as short-supplied.
