| Additional information |
The Great Aussie Coin Hunt was a circulation campaign run by the Royal Australian Mint in 2019, releasing 26 lettered dollars — one for each letter of the alphabet — each paired with an object or animal meant to evoke Australian identity. The program was a deliberate attempt to drive public engagement with coinage at a time when cashless payments were accelerating the withdrawal of coins from everyday transactions. It worked: individual letters were hoarded from the moment the series launched, creating artificial scarcity in circulation almost immediately.
The "V" release paired with a word beginning with that letter — deliberately chosen to lean into colloquial Australian vocabulary.
