To celebrate Rio 2016, Woolworths and the Royal Australian Mint have launched a series of limited edition Australian Olympic and Paralympic $2 coins, and the only way to strike gold is by shopping at Woolies.
Rio 2016 commemorative $2 coins will be released over the next month.
The coins will be released exclusively through Woolworths and customers could find one in their change at the checkout.
The collection includes five Australian Olympic coins, each designed to showcase one of the Olympic Rings, and one Australian Paralympic coin, Australia’s first ever multi-coloured $2 coin.
The new-look series is a symbol of support for all Australian athletes. The Australian Olympic coin incorporates motifs spanning 32 sporting disciplines and the coloured ring on the Paralympic coin is representative of the Aussie team’s colours.
