The 1984 Australian $1 coin was the first year of issue for the denomination, replacing the paper $1 banknote. Stuart Devlin's "Mob of Roos" reverse design - five kangaroos in motion - has been used continuously on the standard $1 coin to this day. The 1984 date is popular with collectors as the inaugural year.
