THE ROYAL AUSTRALIAN MINT'S NEW TRIANGULAR COIN

Dick Hanscom forwarded this item from The Daily Mail about the Royal Australian Mint's new triangular coin. Thanks. -Editor

Australia triangular coin Australia has minted its first triangular coin to mark the 25th anniversary of the opening of Parliament House.

The silver $5 coin, which costs $85 (£56), is 99.9 per cent silver. Only 10,000 coins have been minted for the celebrations.

Its reverse sports a design of the Canberra building's triangular flag mast, as seen from its courtyard.

'It is fitting that the mint is demonstrating its own innovation within a minting context with Australia's first triangular coin.'
