2026 $2 Coloured Coin Dawn Service ANZAC Lest We Forget 

LEST WE FORGET
War is an expensive undertaking, as is recovery once conflict is over. This is true for victorious nations and for defeated ones.
After World War I, the Australian government needed to raise money to recover some of the costs of waging war and to assist ex-servicemen with resettlement, vocational training, employment and housing. Peace bonds were a method of raising loans from the general public. All Australians - even children - were encouraged to subscribe, to help their compatriots return to civilian life and to build a prosperous nation after the tragic losses and sacrifice of war.
The peace bonds followed a series of war bonds issued during the conflict, which Australians had supported generously. Posters urging people to buy peace bonds appealed to emotions such as patriotism, thrift, gratitude and hope.
