| Additional information |
The 2018 Commonwealth Games were held on the Gold Coast — the first time Australia had hosted since Brisbane in 1982, and only the second time a Commonwealth Games city issued a dedicated circulation dollar to mark the event. The Royal Australian Mint produced coloured variants alongside standard strikes, a practice it had refined over the preceding decade for collector-circulation crossover pieces. These turned up regularly in change across Queensland during the Games period, which is precisely what the Mint intended.
