For the 2026 Mob of Roos with the 6th Roo.
They have been appearing in Sydney for the last couple of weeks.
It looks like the 2026 $1 5 MOR is going to be a mint set only coin as reports have been that the only circulating 2026 $1 coin is the 6 Roo's coin.
Availability & Coin Detail
Distribution into circulation of the 'Mob of Six Roos' coin began during the last week of January.
All $1 coins dated 2026 that are released into circulation will feature the special 'Mob of Six Roos' design.
Production will then revert to the original five-kangaroo design from 2027.
The RAM have bags of 20 of these 2026 $1 coins at the coin swap in Canberra tomorrow.

Anyone going to Canberra to get any?
I plan on being in Canberra in early September.
I haven't seen any 2026 coins yet.
Thanks for the heads up on this very unique $1 new 6 Roos.
Must head into the bank and see if they have any new dollar rolls to exchange
for a note or two. Most interesting. Anybody know the reason for RAM to pull yhis one?
60th anniversary of decimal currency. One roo for every ten years.
gweidion, thankyou for that information,
An Ebay seller is selling the mint set, but has changed the $1 5 MOR for the $1 6 MOR coin.

I wouldn't touch that. They have obviously scored the 5 Roos dollar for themselves on the basis that there probably won't be many.
I got heaps of 6 Roos from the casino down the coast today. No shortage of those, but I wouldn't mind a bag of 20 from RAM if I could get them at reasonable prices, not the $80 to hundreds plus the eBag scammers want relying on FOMO.
When the RAM do some more pop up shops they will have the bags for swaps like they did in Canberra a couple of weeks ago. We just need to be patient.
