One Dollar Mob of Roos, Coin Type from Australia - detailed information

One Dollar Mob of Roos, Coin Type from Australia (issued 1984 - )
Coin TypeOne Dollar Mob of Roos

1984 saw the introduction of the one dollar coin denomination in Australia, replacing the earlier banknotes.

As the introductory information by the Royal Australian Mint in 1984 explains:

"The coin has several distinctive features; it has a golden colour which distinguishes it from cupro-nickel or bronze coins; the coin is thicker compared to other coins of similar diameter, and the edge, comprised of seven plain and seven milled segments, makes the new coin distinctive visually and to the touch. However, the unusual edge design does not inhibit the coin's ability to roll, so that it can be used in vending machines.

The reverse design, by featuring the kangaroo, continues the Australian fauna theme of the current circulating coinage. The kangaroo is Australia's best known native animal, and is instantly identifiable with Australia. Its ability to hop long distances and jump high obstacles has made this marsupial world famous."

This regular circulating $1 coin type is known in Australia as the Mob of Roos type ("roo" being short for kangaroo), sometimes abbreviated as MOR.

The material is Aluminium-bronze; composition: 92% copper, 6% aluminium and 2% nickel.
