AUSTRALIA Post has relaunched its most successful collectables program with the Great Aussie Coin Hunt 2, celebrating iconic and admired symbols of Australian life.
AUSTRALIA Post has relaunched its most successful collectables program with the Great Aussie Coin Hunt 2, celebrating iconic and admired symbols of Australian life.
In partnership with the Royal Australian Mint the coins have depictions that range from Akubra to Zinc sunscreen and popular, instantly recognisable landmarks.
There is also a special edition coloured coin of the Great Barrier Reef that is randomly available in full set coin tubes.
Postal Manager of the Mareeba Post Office Eileen Cummins said that already they have had many people in looking to purchase the rare coins.
“We’ve had quite a few collectors in to purchase the full set of 26 coins,” she said.
“Many have said they want the chance to find one of the coloured Great Barrier Reef coins that can only be found in the tube set.
“They like the idea of having coins that haven’t gone into circulation.”
You can join in the hunt for these limited edition coins by heading into one of the 3,500 participating post offices, including Mareeba.
Australia Post Executive General Manager Community and Consumer Nicole Sheffield said the hunt would again create a sense of fun and excitement.
“We’re thrilled to celebrate 26 Australian icons and connect families and communities through the fun of the hunt and the good humoured banter that it generates,” she said.
“This year, we are releasing the full alphabet from the start of the hunt but they will be in limited supply.
“So we encourage those who want the full set to get in quickly to secure their collection of great Aussie memorabilia.”
