It is interesting to note that only $58 million face value worth of coins was purchased by the Australian Treasury for the period Jul 2018 - Jun 2019. That is down from the peak of $977 million for the period Jul 1988 Jun 1989.
The inference is that sooner or later, coins will not be used for monetary transactions. The Mint's entire income after that happens, will entirely depend on collector coins.
That will make me think much more seriously about building my collection of ancient coins.
