Australian shoppers are being urged to check their loose change after three rare coloured $2 Commonwealth Games coins were released exclusively through Woolworths stores. The limited-edition coins are being handed out as change to customers who pay with cash, making every shopping trip a potential treasure hunt.
The special collection celebrates the upcoming Commonwealth Games and features three unique designs that are expected to become highly sought-after by coin collectors. With only a limited number entering circulation, experts say demand could rise quickly.
Coin enthusiasts say commemorative coloured coins have a strong history of increasing in value, particularly if they remain in excellent condition. Previous limited-edition $2 coins have sold for hundreds—and in some rare cases, thousands—of dollars due to scarcity or minting errors.
Customers hoping to secure one are encouraged to pay with cash at Woolworths and carefully inspect their change, as there is no guarantee which coin they may receive.
The latest release is expected to spark another wave of excitement among Australian collectors, with many eager to complete the full three-coin set before they disappear from circulation.
