This is a book that should appeal to the general reader who wants to know more about Australia's coinage and its fascinating history. It deals with its subject in an informal and topical way without too much technical jargon or irrelevant detail. There is an emphasis on advice for amateur coin collectors and anyone thinking of starting a collection. Along the way, you will come across some odd facts and interesting byways, together with stories and anecdotal information covering a wide spectrum of special, unusual, and historical types of coinage. Those may be less likely to find their way into the average household collection, but there is a full guide to the coins that you will want as a home collector, supplemented by lists and catalogues that will be useful for checking if anything is missing. At the end, there is a colored virtual album.
