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 "Z" for Zooper Dooper. Since the 1970's, we've kept cool in the summers by running under sprinklers and diving on backyard slip-and-slides with a Zooper Dooper in hand. The iconic colourful icy poles aren't just delicious, they're essential for surviving hot Aussie days in the sun. Australia's favourite flavour is Cola followed by Lime and Raspberry.

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.
