Commonwealth Games Coin Album
During the Commonwealth Games held here on the Gold Coast in 2018, Woolworths, a large Australian supermarket chain, sold a commemorative edition of $2 and $1 coins. These coins were released by the Australian Mint to commemorate the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. A large number were be placed into circulation by the mint, but, for a limited time, you could snap up an album with all of the coins for the tidy price of $15.
All up the face value of the coins are $AUD10 but I think that over time this uncirculated set could be worth a tidy packet.
So, they shall go with my other coins and silver that I am slowly stacking to be kept for another day.
Recently, alternative Australian coins and coins with coloured inserts have been the focus of collectors, some fetching some interesting prices. I'll post a few that are in my collection and why they are considered collectable in a future post.
