Special-edition Olympic Games coins will roll out for lucky shoppers in Woolworths stores from today, as the countdown to the Opening Ceremony continues.
From today, when shopping in store, customers paying in cash will have the chance to collect four limited-edition $2 coins in their change.
One design will be released every two weeks, directly into the cash tills across an eight-week period.
The following four designs will be released.
“Community” – a pillar of the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) combined with the AOC logo.
“Allezaus” – combining the popular European sports chant “Allez” meaning “let’s go”, with the Australian team mascot breakdancing – a new sport at Paris 2024.
“Olympism” – embracing the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect, this coin features the word “OLYMPISM” and a Parisian boxing kangaroo.
“Paralympics” – featuring team mascot Lizzie, the frilled-neck lizard, playing the Paralympic sport of goalball.
It’s the latest collaboration between Woolworths and the Royal Australian Mint.
