Australian Rangelands and Pastoralists Dollar
July 15, 2026 | Featured
2026 is the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP), as unanimously voted by the United Nations general assembly. The initiative aims to raise awareness of the vital importance of rangelands and pastoralists as their frontline custodians.
The Royal Australian Mint commemorated this event with 2 special $1 coins (one in silver), honouring and appreciating the rangelands, the people that look after them, and the ecological, cultural and economic value they hold.
