During my travels to Australia over the last couple of years, I randomly decided to collect all the 1$ coins - and by chance, the last purchase I made these holidays at coles brought me the last missing coin. This does not include the non-circulated special editions, but merely the circulated ones.
Here's the list:
1986: International Year of Peace.
1988: Figure with and Koori Kangaroo for 200 years of English colonisation.
1993: Landcare Australia.
1996: Sir Henry Parkes.
1997: Sir Charles Kingsford Smith coin B.
1999: Year of Older Persons.
2001: 2 coin issues
100 years of Federation.
International Year of the Volunteer.
2002: Year of the Outback.
2003: 2 coin issues
Centenary of women's suffrage.
Australia's Volunteers.
2005: The Dancing Man - 60 years since World War II.
2007: APEC Australia 2007.
2008: Centenary of Scouting
They are in relatively good condition, I mean they were used and not new, but I can polish them. I obviously also have the normal 1$ coin with the kangaroos, but I doubt that counts. Anyway, it's 14 1$ coins, so its worth 14$ technically, but how much would they be worth as a set on ebay or other?
Thanks!

I believe so, but last time I was in the UK (4 yrs ago) the trolleys that required a pound coin for deposit were the smaller trolleys, not the full sized ones.
