According to Bega District News, the Australian government has once again released a new AC/DC coin.

The coin from Royal Australian Mint — a government agency which is the sole supplier of Australia’s circulating coinage — celebrates the band’s 50th anniversary and features guitarist Angus Young in his school boy uniform, doing his one-legged hop.

The coins won’t be circulated but will be a collector’s item. The are available via mintcoinshop.au.

This is at least the third time the Royal Australian Mint has produced AC/DC coins. Two years ago, it issued a box set with original AC/DC album covers. The six LPs represented in the series were “High Voltage”“TNT”“Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”“Back In Black”“For Those About To Rock” and “Ballbreaker”. The roadcase box set edition included a seventh AC/DC collectors coin. Four years ago, the Royal Australian Mint celebrated AC/DC‘s 45th anniversary by releasing a similar series.

“Power Up” was recorded over a six-week period in August and September 2018 at Warehouse Studios in Vancouver with producer Brendan O’Brien, who also worked 2008’s “Black Ice” and 2014’s “Rock Or Bust”.
