Description

For 45 years, the Australian Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book has been at the heart of childhood celebrations across the country. Passed down through generations, this beloved book has sparked joy, kitchen chaos and unforgettable birthday memories.

The Royal Australian Mint has partnered with newsXpress to release a coin collection, honouring the book’s most iconic cakes. From the unforgettable Choo-Choo Train that graced the cover and inspired countless birthday wishes, to the jelly-filled Swimming Pool, the lolly-laden Candy Castle and the charming Cuddly Koala — these coins are a delicious tribute to an Aussie icon.

The collection features 12 delightful coin designs based on some of the most cherished cakes from the book.

They could be purchased as a 10-coin collection in a Special Tube complete with Press in Folder, with a 1-in-10 chance of finding a special Choo-Choo Train 11th coin instead of the Racing Track coin. The press in folder also had a space for the $2 coloured Hickory Dickory Watch coin which was issued into circulation as change at newsXpress outlets.
