G'day all, was just wondering if this set is now complete as I haven't seen or heard of any RAM 2014 Inspirational Australians $1 coin release, sorry if I have missed info on this, but if anyone could shed some light on this subject I would be greatly appreciative

Pictures of people often don't translate well onto coin imho...

Hooley dooley that is very ordinary - no resemblance that I can see at all except it's a guy and a gal.

I sent an email to the RAM yesterday asking about the Inspirational Australians $1 coins and if it has ended, will post when i hear back from them.

Thank you for contacting the Royal Australian Mint.

The Royal Australian Mint has ceased the Inspirational Australian series and have commenced the new Clever Australia series. The first coin being Medi-mazing – a series about a nation of great inventors features the story of Sir Lawrence Bragg (X ray technology), Dr Mark Lidwell (pacemaker), penicillin (Howard Flory) and others.

Does that mean that they could only find six Inspirational Australians?
Or was it that the coins looked so bad?

Good thing they only do dead people. Imagine if they had done lauded Australians like Alan Bond, Dr William McBride or Rolf Harris.
