Australian Silver Koala Coin - A Silver Keepsake From Down Under
Do you have an interest in collecting silver bullion coins with exotic animals as their icons? These collectors would find a true prize in the Australian Silver Koala issued by the Perth Mint of Western Australia.
This mintage is a follow-through of the highly successful introduction of the Australian Silver Kookaburra by the same mint in 1990 and the Australian Kangaroo in 1993 by the Royal Australian Mint. Having all three in coins should be a superb combination for a thematic animal-inspired silver bullion collection.
The Australian Silver Koala was first struck two years ago by the Pert Mint, which is famous for coins of excellent workmanship and innovative designs. The 1997 first year of mintage was an instant success as the koala whose image the coin bears is a well-loved creature the world over.
Numismatists of course will tell you that it would be erroneous to call this coin as the "Australian Silver Koala Bear," although there is a certain rhyme to this term. The koala is scientifically classified under the genus Phascolarctos, which is rooted from the Greek word "phaskolos," for pouch, and the misleading "arktos," for bear. The koala, however, is a marsupial, an arboreal or tree-dwelling animal found only in the tropical forests of Australia.
The jungle, nonetheless, is no place for the Australian Silver Koala, but would be more at home at some treasure chests. This collector's delight is a 1-oz coin made from 99.9% pure silver in a koala design that changes each year.
The latest edition has the image of a young koala clinging to a tree branch. The Perth Mint struck the 2008 mintage of the coin with a different design which features that of a mother koala perched on a tree with a baby Phascolarctos at her back.
This 2008 mint also has a gold coin edition in addition to the silver standard, firmly establishing that indeed there are lots of treasures to be found Down Under!

Answer:
No, I wouldn't agree. In fact, go back to the history of Australia, and how do you suppose it was formed? By the scum of the earth settling there! The other races you mention - Chinese, Indian and Vietnamese - all have rich culture, heritage, past and now the future - the rise of the Chinese and Indians in the world today is there for everybody to see. Where is Australia in all of this? Unfortuntely nowhere. One last point...the aboriginals of Australia, unlike the retards and the rejects of English society that settled there, are the true Australians, and they have a rich historical and cultural past, that white bigots in Australia have tried hard to subvert. So there...eat humble pie and sit in one corner boy!
