1992 dollar

JRNASH · January 19, 2014, 10:34:45 PM

So as a new collector one of the first things I'm trying to accomplish is filling a binder of all decimal circulating coins.

Upon looking at the RAM mintage figures I notice the mintage of the 1992 dollar coins to be very low in comparison to all other coins at just 0.008 million.

I'm just wondering if this is going to be the trouble coin to find?

Yup. Here's what I've got for it:

1992: 200,000?

Note that that figure is disputed as well. Your best bet is to try and find a mint set to break one out of.

They are production numbers, not coins issued into circulation.

Unless I am mistaken, there were no Kangaroo 41 Coins for 1992, but there was a coin to celebrate the Barcelona Olympic Games.

Even the link in the above comment , the table that turns up does not indicate any picture of the Women In Sport Effigy that represented the Barcelona Olympic Games.

Me thinks the RAM table is wrong.....I have checked my $1 collection and I do not have a 1992 kangaroo $1 Coin.

No no no no, Bum steer by me ::blush::blush:

That RAM page is for circulation coins only, Excluding Mint or Proofs.

My thought is that RAM had a shortfall of the 1984 or 1985 circulation MOR
and needed to strike additional numbers to fill their 5 Coin Dollar Folder issued in 1992.:idea:

This question comes up at least once every six months. The RAM website is wrong. There was no MOR dollar for 1992. This has been confirmed directly with the RAM (but for the life of me I cannot find the email).

You would think you RAM would get their facts correct, haha

RAM website is wrong on this and so are the guides

There was a thread I saw somewhere recently listing a 1992 MOR.

Downies Australian Coin Auctions
Sale No 310
Page 92
2493 One Dollar 1992 with Mob of 'Roos reverse struck on a partially
prepared proof blank, As Struck and extremely rare Est. $750

RAMint does not have records going that far back.

The only place that information will exist is the Treasury Annual Reports for that year.
Sadly the Treasury web site only goes back to 1996 Annual Report.

Could be at the archive site but I could not find it.

Only 1992 RAMint circulation or Proof sets I have seen include Barcelona coin - not MOR!

Went for over a grand, didn't it? Wonder if its the only sighting of this beast?

SULLA · January 21, 2014, 05:43:05 PM

$1000

Nice round number!

RAM would have records ... go to RAM gallery in Canberra and they do talk themselves up.
Biggest problem is they don't give a rats about enquiries they just want to promote sales of everything to general community
Numismatics is a word the RAM don't know about unfortunately

I have had a reply from the RSAM re the 1992 $1 Kangaroo Coin and here it is below:

Good Morning Mr *********,

The 1992 $1 'five kangaroos' coin that you are referring to on the website is a circulating coin, and the information on the website accurately reflects the production amount reported in the Royal Australian Mint's annual report containing that year. It might help to note that there is no record kept of the quantities of coins issued into circulation by date, and never has been.

The Barcelona $1 coin was a numismatic product, and 16 996 of these were produced at the Royal Australian Mint and were available only through the onsite Mint shop.

We hope this information is of assistance to you

Customer Service Team
Royal Australian Mint

Now does the above response clear the air? I am not sure as I still do not have a 1992 Kangaroo Coin in my collection. Now does anyone on this forum have this coin please?
