Collecting coins from all over the world is a favorite hobby of mine. I have coins from the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK and even far away countries such as Mozambique. When a friend who is also interested in coins mentioned that he was into commemorative Australian coins I felt compelled to check them out. I had heard about Australian wildlife from friends who have visited the country but didn’t realize that you could get gold and silver coins with these animals on display. The Perth mint also has a range of war and sporting based coins that also look very appealing.
