https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09...ollar-coin-designed-to-be-given-away/12621404 I had not heard of this and couldn't find anything on it here. Interesting idea. The notion from the mint that "it is not a collectable" made me smile though. Good luck with that!
I'm sure it will be hoarded. The coloured $2 coin is a good example. Mintage is very low at around 2 million. In total more than 10+ million have been issued but they appear rarely in circulation due to hoarding. They often turn up at eBay for double the face value if not more
Received one in the mail from my Australian buddy the other day (thanks Wombat!). He got it from his bank and it appears to be in a bank's holder, fairly circulated.
That is annoying. I haven't even seen one out in the wild yet! Even coloured $2 coins pop up very infrequently.
