| Additional information |
The Great Aussie Coin Hunt series — now in its third iteration — was the Royal Australian Mint's most successful public engagement program in decades, with earlier rounds generating widespread hoarding behavior that briefly caused genuine circulation shortages in some retail sectors. The "Letter D" release was part of the A-to-Z alphabet format underpinning the hunt's structure, each letter paired with a distinctly Australian word or icon.
By the third series, secondary market premiums had softened considerably compared to the frenzy surrounding the 2019 inaugural run.
