2000 is an interesting year for Aussie Numismatics. The MOB of Roos was strucked and it included the Al-Br proofs. The Proof sets have gone up a lot since its issue that it lies just behind the 1966 Proof set. Another well known coin is the $1.00/10 cents Mule of this year. Besides the MOB of Roos three other dollar coins were also issued, the best known and chased by collectors is the "VC"dollar shown below.Issued in folders and PNC, there were no proofs struck  Then followed by the HMAS Sydney II Commemorative dollar.Issued with C& S mint marks ans a silver proof  And lastly the Olymphilex commemorative issed with C&S mint marks but no silver.  |

The Navy...no mint marks or silver, this one is quietly appreciating very nicely. Issued at $2.17 this one is now selling at around the $40.00 mark.  The last of the trio...The Air Force....no mint marks or silver.  |

With all of the above posts, just a broad overview has been provided of our decimal dollar circulating coinage. I have not gone into discovered varieties nor into any types of packaging used by the Mint or private dealers.
For any member looking for additional information, they can be obtained from two recommended reference books, namely, Greg McDonald's Guide to Australian Coins & Banknotes now in it's 13th edition or Renniks Australian Coins & Banknotes 21st Edition.
Alternatively, members can also post their questions here and Aussie members will try to answer them.
Happy New Year Everyone

They are not expensive when compared to the Morgans and really not that many of them to collect either. The real expensive ones are those issued to VIPs where the difference is in the presentation folders. To me, to pay top dollars just for the difference in the packaging of the coin is a bit silly. Some colletors will not agree with that comment, but as it has been said "to each, his own". |

1989,1990 & 1991 the normal MOB was used again. It should be noted that the first mint your won coin was in 1991. In 1992, the MOB was not used, the "Barcelona Olympics"was issued instead. It is also the first Aussie coin to feature a female that is not of the "royal fold". This issue comes in so many flavours that it would need a separate thread just to deal with it. Here is the normal proof.
 and here is the WIS capsule proof mintage 2940 |
