About 500,000+ collector coins in Uncirculated condition, and another 22,500 in proof. </p><p>275,000 unc coins dated 1997 were also sold in a coin/ stamp cover in 1997.</p><p><br /></p><p>Australia has in recent years released collector coins commemorating various football codes (Rugby Union &amp; Australian Rules Football) and cynical sports fans may predict another cricket coin in the near future.</p><p><br /></p><p>I look forward to seeing what other coins pop up in the thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
