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 "V" for "Vegemite". Vegemite has been featured in books, chart-topping hits and every pantry in the country. It's the Taste of Australia and it puts a rose in every cheek. The only way to deter the terrifying Drop Bear is to rub Vegemite behind your ears.
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.
