What is a Holey Dollar worth?
The "Holey Dollar" is a relic of Australia's Colonial past. Britain was unable to keep the colonies supplied with coins of the realm due largely to the expense of the Napoleonic Wars. Governor Lachlan Macquarie acquired 40,000 Spanish Dollars in 1812. The centres were punched out resulting in the "Holey Dollar" and "Dump". The "Holey Dollar" was valued at Five Shillings and the "Dump" at Fifteen Pence. These coins were recalled and demonetised in 1829 and melted down. There are less than 300 "Holey Dollars" known to exist, and approximately 1,000 "Dumps". A Holey Dollar, circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £35,000 to £475,000 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation. The Perth Mint produced 1oz silver "Holey Dollars" and "Dumps" in each of 1988, 1989 and 1990 as collector coins.

What did money look like in 1830?
Australian currency did not exist in 1830, we were using mostly British currency but, due to a shortage of British currency, we used anything we could get our hands on. Australia used coins from a variety of countries, modified in some fashion and with an agreed value within the colonies. One of the best known of these was the "Holey Dollar" and the "Dump". The Holey Dollar started out as Spanish Dollar with the centre punched out and both overstamped. The Spanish had carelessly left many of these laying around where any British warship could seize them. The Holey Dollar was worth 5 shillings when circulated in the Colonies and the Dump was worth 15 pence.
