Mini Money – Kookaburra
The Royal Australian Mint’s Mini Money gold coin series features a selection of Australia’s iconic native animals. The Kookaburra, one of Australia’s most recognisable and distinctive birds, is presented on the second coin in the series.
Kookaburras can be found throughout eastern Australia, from Queensland to South Australia, and have been widely introduced into Tasmania, Western Australia and even New Zealand.
The Kookaburra is a large kingfisher bird, but unlike other kingfishers, the kookaburra rarely eats fish. With an estimated population of 65 million, kookaburra’s can be typically found in eucalyptus forest and woodlands throughout Australia and well as urban parks,
