$1 Currency Crossroads Last Paper Note First Coin Limited Edition Pack

A defining moment in the nation's currency heritage, the $1 paper banknote was consigned to history in 1984, when replaced by Australia's first $1 coin issue. More durable and offering greater economy, the natural advantages of the new aluminium-bronze $1 coin proved overwhelming, and the familiar brown hues of the paper $1 note were lost forever. The $1 coin, with a strong reverse design created by Stuart Devin, whose work is also found on the 1c to 50c coins has established a unique place in Australian currency history. The nation pays tribute to the 20th anniversary or this significant milestone on the highway or Australian numismatics.
