Paying tribute to the ‘unsung heroes’ of Australia’s continuing development as a healthy, prosperous nation, this unique $1 type celebrates the 100th anniversary of the 1908 Quarantine Act, and the formal introduction of quarantine regulations.
Seeking to protect Australia from a variety of diseases and pests that had undermined countries around the world, the Quarantine Act 1908 formed the legislative basis for the quarantine of plants, humans and animals. The Quarantine Act 1908, and the Biosecurity Act 2015 that succeeded it, have enabled the protection of Australia’s international borders, and the assessment of millions of parcels, cargo containers, live imports and more. Quarantine regulations thus play a vital role in minimising the danger to the nation’s flora and fauna, as well as its multi-billion dollar export and tourism industries.
Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, the Quarantine 100th Anniversary 2008 $1 Aluminium-Bronze Uncirculated Coin represents official recognition of the vigilance and commitment of the thousands of people who have helped make Australia one of few nations on the planet to be free of the worst agricultural pests and diseases. Crucially, this unique, one-year-only type is a must-have type for collectors.
