Hutt River Province Coins

Hutt River Province started in the 1970s when Prince Leonard declared it to be an independent state.  While the world does not recognize it, the small state continues to peacefully exist within Australia.  As tourists found it they needed Hutt River Province money, which they could obtain for Australian money.  The money made unique souvenirs, so some of it as not exchanged back to Australian money.  This brought about an industry.  Soon, Hutt River Province had a large selection of coins  many with movie stars, the firs Gulf War, and other topics th found a willing market.

The Hutt River coins were considered counterfeit by the United States government, and their television sales ended in the United States.  But, its fine silver kangaroo is as impressive as the popular Australian kangaroo, and precious metal will find a market. Just remember, if dealing in Hutt River Province coins, do not call them coins when selling them, since their legal status as coins is dubious.  They are best called medallions.
