Working for all Australians

The Australian 20 cent piece. Whether you love the image of the playful platypus or you hate carrying around another giant piece of metal, there is new reason to pay attention to it.

The Australian Taxation Office celebrated its 100th year in 2010. And what better way than making a new coin for 2010 (and taxing us for it).

Apparently someone, somewhere, celebrated this monumental occasion.

‘The coin reflects the past journey, and acknowledges the future role of taxation in our community.’  Yeaaaaa whatever.

The great part is you can have this coin for only $1.75 and mailed to your door for a low shipping price of $1. You could go all out and get the extra shiny royal mint coin which can be purchased for $20 (valued at 20 cents).

Or just wait until you’re lucky enough to receive this piece of history as change.
