Okay, I will start off with my three favourite Australian coins:

1) 1877M & 1878M Sovereign - Queen Victoria with St. George Reverse
2) 2000 $1 1oz Pure Silver Kangaroo - Proof
3) 1999-2001 $10 Millennium Series (Past, Present, & Future)

And before you ask, no, I don't own any of them, but I'm going to one day. Maybe. Hopefully. Definitely!

Hi Snooba, I seem to be following you tonight!! I like any of the old coins with King George v on the obverse like the old pennys I have and my 1927 florin but my wife (the non coin collector) likes the new one dollar design with the dolphins on it so much I am going to get one for her!!

My favorite Australian coin that I own would have to be a nice big 1943 cent I got in a lot from kuhli.

I'm on the record as liking the Sydney Mint (pre-1871) sovereign/half sovereign design:

I am quite partial to the 37/38 crown but then again I am biased because I like big silver round things :D

I don't know though that I have a favourite Aussie coin. However I do like this coin that I received from BM1947 recently.

Technically not a specific coin but I love all of the PNC's official or un-official I don't care. Maybe because it blends my love of coins and stamps together.

As with madbudgie0 my favourite is also the 1966 20c Wavy Baseline. A nice coin you can still find in circulation (ver rarely).

Secretsquirrel, when you put a photo of that coin, you should at least add a "ner-ner" to all those who haven't got one! You have to include a smiley such as this: What-Is-Your-Favourite-Australian-Coin? What-Is-Your-Favourite-Australian-Coin? What-Is-Your-Favourite-Australian-Coin?
