Hundreds of South Australians waited for hours to get their hands on a limited-edition NAIDOC coin, which they hope will one day be worth a significant sum of cash. The Royal Australian Mint released the 50c coin in Adelaide to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Observance Committee. It features a blue dot-painted ring, symbols of Indigenous culture and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags.
“In producing this coin, we wish to celebrate and pay homage to all our people who have worked tirelessly over the past 50 years to ensure NAIDOC is a celebration of our people and our cultures, locally, state-wide, and nationally” Riley said. “Our Elders, who first established NAIDOC, would be very proud of them all.” About 300 coin collectors queued in Rundle Mall to get their hands on the new release on Friday morning.
