Theme Background:

It has been 21 years since the then Australian Government Treasurer Peter Costello announced, during his budge speech on the 21 August 1990, the cessation of one and two cent coins.

These coins have enjoyed many memorable moments in Australian numismatic history but none more so than during the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympic Games, when the bronze winners medals were made at the Royal Australian Mint from returned 1 and 2 cent coins.
