| Additional information |
The Royal Australian Mint's pad-printing technology, applied here in fluorescent ink, was developed to circumvent the practical limits of traditional coin colouring methods — earlier enamel and lacquer approaches were prone to flaking under circulation conditions. Whether a fluorescent $2 intended for general release actually circulates is another matter; most will be pulled from change or purchased directly, making true wear examples a future curiosity.
