The mintage of the Woolies coins, just like the $1 A-Z coins released through the Australian Post, is in the ''collector coin section'' of the RAM's annual report. Report this Post to the Staff

Then they shouldn't have been intentionally released into circulation. It would be much more exciting to find them if they were NCLT like the $1 coins. Report this Post to the Staff

And as far as the Mint is concerned, they aren't being "released into circulation". They're being sold to you. For face value. You're the one putting them into circulation, if you decide to spend them. This is why Woolworths are quite justified in limiting their purchases to one per customer per day, or whatever the policy is; they don't have such policies in place for their regular change. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Surely if they are giving them out in change too, then they are being released in to circulation by Woolies also. Report this Post to the Staff
