Royal Australian Mint - New $1 Coin

To celebrate 60 years of decimal currency, the Royal Australian Mint has released a limited-edition $1 circulating coin. At first glance, it looks just like the familiar $1 coin which has been circulating since 1984, but the new design – called the ‘Mob of Six Roos’ – quietly adds a sixth kangaroo to the beloved composition, marking each decade since the introduction of dollars and cents in 1966. All $1 coins dated 2026 that are released into circulation will feature the special ‘Mob of Six Roos’ design. Production will then revert to the original five-kangaroo design from 2027.
