Vince used to collect coins but the time has come to move them on.
One of a special series commemorates Weet-Bix, a breakfast cereal which is nearly as popular as Vegemite. I was a bit surprised that Weet-Bix featured on a coin but a bit of research revealed that, in 2019, the Royal Australian Mint issued a series of 26 $1 coins featuring each letter of the alphabet and an Australian symbol starting with the letter.
I’ve written before about Weet-Bix and how Vince’s Mum wouldn’t buy them because they were made by Sanatorium which was owned by the Seventh Day Adventist church. Being a staunch Catholic, she bought Vita-Brits instead which were almost identical.

It doesn’t taste like Vegemite, does it? 
I mentioned in the reply to another discussion that Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were “invented” by the Kellogg brothers, who were also Seventh-Day Adventists and made it as “health food.”
