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 "U" for "Ute". With plenty of room for bikes, dogs and surfboards, the ute is a true-blue Aussie invention. From its origins as a pig-transporting passenger car to becoming one of the most popular working vehicles in the country, the ute is deep-seated in Australian Culture. In 2018 three of the top four selling vehicles in Australia were Utes.
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.
