Coin Books

This is a list of the books used in making these pages.
Some are essential for any collector of Australian coins, others deal in more specialised areas, but all have contributed in some way or another.
In some cases books have been cross-referenced into multiple categories but in some cases they only appear once, trying to balance loading times with information.
