Comment
Coin struck by the RAM but issued by Australia Post as change into circulation from 3500 Post Offices Australia wide. The coins are featuring 26 classic Aussie icons from letters of the Alphabet from A to Z.This coin is the Letter "L" for Lamington. This iconic Aussie snack is the source of much delicious debate - should it hace cream? What about Jam? Does it count if it's a raspberry sponge? No matter your preference, lamingtons are a national treasure. Many Aussies lovingly refer to the tasty treat as a 'lammo'.
A press in album for the 26 coins was available for $9 or you can buy the full set of 26 coins in a special tube including the album for $49.
