Finding coin information and prices for Australian coins was, at first, rather difficult. After searching and finding a problem with locating an Australian coin guide on Amazon, we finally found Australian Coins and Banknotes. The author is Greg McDonald. Now, the 2013 20th edition is available.
This is an excellent book, and covers Australian coins from before Australia minted its first coins. It covers both Perth Mint and Royal Australian Mint coins that are legal tender of Australia. It does not cover coins of island nations, nor the Hutt River Province coins and banknotes, since Hutt River Province claims to being independed of Australia are not recognized.
Unfortunately, Amazon had only earlier editions when we checked. So, where can one get this great book.
Go to the home page of Black Spaniel Gallery link below and click any Perth Mint banner. We gladly will direct you to the Perth Mint's site. Then, click on Gifts & Jewellery. There you will find the book. Be certain to select the current edition. 2013 is the 20th edition. The Perth Mint has fair pricing, is easy to work with, and reasonable with shipping. We usually add items and recheck shipping. Sometimes we can add an item and not change the shipping!
