In 2019 - following the great success of the Royal Mint in the United Kingdom with the 10 pence A to Z Collection - the Royal Australian Mint (RAM), in collaboration with Australia Post, started a similar campaign, The Great Aussie Coin Hunt. A series of 26 $1 coins feature each letter of the English alphabet and an Australian symbol starting with that letter. In 2021 RAM has released the second series of The Great Aussie Coin Hunt featuring another 26 classic Aussie icons.
This is the third Great Aussie Coin Hunt. The Royal Australian Mint undertook market research with independent research agencies to determine the themes and designs for the 26 Australian coins, featuring an Aussie icon for each letter of the alphabet. There are famous flora and fauna such as C for Cockatoo and W for Wattle; impressive natural wonders such as U for Undara Lava Tubes and P for Pinnacles; and even something for your sweet tooth such as V for Vanilla Slice.
