ROYAL AUSTRALIAN MINT 50TH ANNIVERSARY COIN

First pixilated banknotes, now honeycomb coins. In another story from Australia, here's a new coin commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Royal Australian Mint. Here's an excerpt from an article by Michael Zielinski on the World Mint News Blog. -Editor

Royal Australian Mint 50th Anniversary coin The Royal Australian Mint has just started accepting preorders for a number of new product releases. This includes uncirculated and proof sets which incorporate a special coin to mark the 50th anniversary of the Mint in 2015. Other coins feature the Great Barrier Reef, Eternal Love, and the Alphabet. The latest Remembrance Day, Australia at War, and ANZAC Cententary Coin Program releases are also available.

All of the coins and sets can be found in the new releases section of the Royal Australian Mint website. Preorders can be placed now, with the new coins to begin shipping on October 24 or 30, 2014.

The Royal Australian Mint is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the release of Six Coin Year Sets which contain a unique 50 cent coin with a honeycomb design. The Royal Australian Mint had opened on February 22, 1965 and was tasked with producing Australia’s circulating coins for the changeover to decimal currency. The special coin with the honeycomb design is intended to represent the expertise and ingenuity of the employees of the mint who make world renowned coins.

Interesting design. I'll give it points for creativity. -Editor
