| | Australian Decimal Currency |
 | | Small plastic wallets became the standard packaging for Mint sets until 1984 when the coins were sealed in a colourful see-both sides fold-out card. | | | A number of differently packaged sets were released in that first year, presumably to gauge collector reaction. | | | Bronze and cupro-nickel strips, to be cut into blanks, were obtained from external sources and the Perth mint was called to help out by producing 229 million 2 cent coins. |
