Woolworths and the Royal Australian Mint are celebrating the 2026 Australian Commonwealth Games team by releasing three limited-edition collectible coins.
From 15 July, Woolworths customers paying in cash will be able to collect the exclusive $2 coins in their change. New coin designs will be landing in cash tills each week across a three-week period.
Designed by the Royal Australian Mint, the coins feature unique illustrations celebrating the dedication of Australian athletes. The weekly release schedule includes:
- Week one (from 15 July): Gymnastics
- Week two (from 22 July): 3×3 Wheelchair Basketball
- Week three (from 29 July): Athletics
“We’ve got a long history of backing Aussie sport, whether that’s fuelling local grassroots clubs in our communities or supporting our elite athletes on the world stage,” says Woolworths Head of Community and Sponsorships Sarah De La Mare.
“Being the official Fresh Food Partner of the 2026 Commonwealth Games is all about keeping that momentum going and helping the Aussie team perform at their best.
“Teaming up with the Royal Australian Mint for these coins is a really fun way to bring that green and gold excitement into local stores, giving shoppers a little piece of history as we cheer our athletes on.”
The coins are strictly limited edition and will only be available via change at most Woolworths registers while stock lasts.
“On behalf of our team, we’re really pleased to welcome Woolworths and the Royal Australian Mint as Official Partners of the Australian Commonwealth Games Team,” says Commonwealth Games Australia CEO Craig Phillips AM.
“Woolworths has a long history of supporting the Australian Commonwealth Games team and celebrating iconic sporting moments.
“This is the third Commonwealth Games coin program that Woolworths has collaborated with the Mint on, giving Australians a tangible way to connect with our team.”
The 2026 collection continues a series of successful partnerships between Woolworths and the Royal Australian Mint, including the Commbank Matildas, Vegemite, The Wiggles, and previous Olympic and Commonwealth Games editions.
