$1 2026 60th Anniversary of Decimal Currency ‘C’ Mintmark Set of 5 – Making Change
2026 $1 Uncirculated Coin – 60 Years of Decimal Currency
Royal Australian Mint | ‘C’ Mintmark | Showroom Presses
Australia’s move to decimal currency on 14 February 1966 was a major milestone in the nation’s history. Backed by a memorable public education campaign featuring jingles, posters, and the well-known Dollar Bill character, Australians were introduced to a new currency system that would become part of everyday life.
Over the past 60 years, Australia’s coins have continued to change and evolve. From Stuart Devlin’s iconic wildlife designs, to the introduction of the 12-sided 50 cent coin in 1969, the release of the $1 and $2 coins in the 1980s, and the withdrawal of the 1 cent and 2 cent coins in 1992, each change tells an important part of Australia’s numismatic story.
This special 2026 uncirculated $1 coin celebrates the 60th anniversary of decimal currency and pays tribute to the coins Australians have used, collected, and cherished across generations. Struck with a ‘C’ Mintmark on the Royal Australian Mint’s Showroom Presses, this release is a wonderful keepsake for collectors and a fitting tribute to one of Australia’s most important currency milestones.
A meaningful addition for coin collectors, history lovers, and anyone who appreciates the evolution of Australian coinage.
