IYC 2012 coin
And the IYC 2012 coin?
In a one off coup for Australian co-ops, as The Hon Bill Shorten, Assistant Treasurer reminded last November, Australia is ‘the only nation in the world to produce a collectible coin celebrating the UN International Year of Co-operatives in 2012, as we recognise the impact of the co-operative business model on the burgeoning strength of the Australian economy on the world stage,"
The official IYC 2012 $1 coin was launched on 22 November 2011 – buy yours from the Mint e-shop.
