2023 Vegemite $2 Coins

Hey its limited! Three million limited-edition coins will be available for customers, with a new design released into cash tills each week over a three-week period.Each of the three designs has a different coloured circle - yellow, red and black. To get one of these Vegemite coins, you have to win one from a Woolworths till. And to get coins from a Woolworths till, you have to put some cash into one.This means that you can't buy a Vegemite coin directly from Woolworths. You also can't buy them from the Royal Australian Mint.

The first coin depicts a jar of Vegemite with the words "100 Mitey Years" at the bottom.

Another coin features a slice of Vegemite toast with the words "Tastes Like Australia", while the third depicts a child eating a slice of Vegemite toast with the words "Happy Little Vegemites

Hey, at least they are honest in the article about likely value increases. With regards to rarity, any coloured $2 coins that have been released through Woolworths haven't really seen great appreciation in value, as the demand is always leaned towards Royal Australian Mint direct releases rather than those that are released through commercial partners.

Are you sure you're an Aussie Sel? Although I must admit, I prefer Marmite or Promite.

Out of curiosity, is it 3 million each coin or 1 million each coin?



Not quite true. I grabbed 5 yesterday. I was buying something I wanted anyway and I just asked. The lady at the till didn't so I went to the ciggie counter and she handed over 5 for a tenner. For those with deep pockets and short arms you could always return the purchased item for a refund and walk away with just the coins.

Con The Fruiterer compared Vegemite to axle grease, and suggested it could be used in the same way.
I think he was right.

Three coins in set (price $43), come in three flavors colors:
1. Yellow (sadly, not lemon flavor) - jar, depicted on reverse
2. Black (fortunately, not Vegemite flavor) - substance spread on two slices of bread, depicted on reverse
3. Red (unfortunately, not strawberry flavor) - boy eating the subject of (2.) above, depicted on reverse.

I think price of 3 coin set is too high.
That is why I will take up the opportunity to remove any found in normal circulating pocket change, and add to my collection..

I have found a red one (boy) already.
What I don't know is if the other two colors and designs will be released into general circulation

Yes, at this stage, that's correct - Wk 1 Yellow, Wk 2 Black and Wk 3 Red.

David, One design will be released each week into the cash tills across a three week period and there's three million of these $2 coins available for customers to collect across Australia. So that should be 1 million of each coin.

Now, while these Woolworths' Vegemite coins are neat, they're not going to satisfy everyone. This is because some folks will go to Woolworths, use a till, and not score a rare piece of shrapnel. However, if you're one such person, don't despair. 'Cause in 2022, the Royal Australian Mint preemptively released a centennial Vegemite coin. And you don't have to be lucky to get one: you can buy them from their website. These Vegemite dollarydoos are a tad bigger, as they're $1 coins. They also feature a piece of toast that's been painted a Vegemite colour. This toast has a bite in its top left corner.

If you want one of these Vegemite coins, it'll cost ya $33.00. Vegemite Centenary - Uncirculated Year Set 2023. https://eshop.ramint.gov.au/2023-cu...n-collection

There is also a Vegemite Centenary - Proof Year Set 2023 for $130, On the flipside is the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The 2023 year set will be the last one to feature the late Queen. https://eshop.ramint.gov.au/2023-cu...n-collection




It says some people may go to Woolworths and use a till and may not get one either although as David mentioned you might just go to another area to try. So someone would have to get one and then respend elsewhere and then you find it there,so thats probably much less likely unless they were unpopular coin designs. At likely 1 million each however it also depends on the demand for them as they can be sold second hand if demand remains rather then respend. Woolworths final US locations closed in 1997 so usa collectors would have to go to ebay or such.

2 of those are for you Redlock. They will be in your 3rd package. 2nd package is on the way already.

Don't hold your breath waiting for an answer. This issue has been around for years and RAM staff would need to be living in a hermitage not to be aware of the issue yet they have done little about it. Even the idea of a ballot seems good but why 3 coins per winner? A ballot also includes entries from those who only want to flip the coins for quick profit, i.e. not actual collectors.
