Royal Australian Mint acting Chief Executive Officer Emily Martin said the coin program told the story of many Australian childhoods — hers included.

“I have such fond memories of growing up with this book — my sister and I would choose our birthday cake weeks in advance, and Mum would do her best to recreate them.

“This coin collection is a tribute that spans generations. Whether you’re a child of the ‘80s or beyond, or a collector, you’ll really get the sense of fun this coin collection brings to mind,” Ms Martin said.

Designed by the Mint’s Lydia Ashe, each coin captures the quirkiness of its original cake: popcorn hairstyles, chocolate-finger echidna quills, potato-chip beaks, and sprinkles galore. You’ll spot beloved classics like Rubber Ducky, Dolly Varden and Robert Robot, alongside the infamously ambitious Tip Truck and the wonderfully detailed Humpty Dumpty.

Please don’t be hating on Newspower, Nextra or News Extra

newsXpress is grateful to the be the exclusive retail partner for the launch of the Australian Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book coins produced by the Royal Australian Mint.

We know some shoppers have gone to Newspower, Nextra and or News Extra stores wanting the coins and angry that these shops did not have the coins.

newsXpress is not Newspower, Nextra or News Extra. We never have been.

Newspower, Nextra and News Extra and their own things, they are not newsXpress. They do their individual thing and we do ours, like the Australian Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book coins produced by the Royal Australian Mint.

We truly are grateful for the opportunity with the birthday cake coins and the competitive advantage for newsXpress stores over Newspower, Nextra and News Extra.

We think when you shop at a newsXpress stores compared to a Newspower, Nextra or News Extra you will have a different experience, something unique, enjoyable, memorable and appreciated. We’re not saying Newspower, Nextra and News Extra don’t offer these experiences. No, what we are saying is that newsxpress stores are unique, they do have access to plenty of exclusive product and we shine a light on these differences, exclusivities.

newsXpress is newsXpress. It is at a newsXpress store where you can find the Australian Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book coins produced by the Royal Australian Mint.

We understand there might be some confusion among shoppers, as some have visited Newspower, Nextra, or News Extra stores expecting to find the Australian Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book coins and have been disappointed. To clarify, newsXpress is the exclusive retail partner for these special coins, produced by the Royal Australian Mint. We are a distinct entity from Newspower, Nextra, and News Extra; while they operate their own businesses, newsXpress proudly offers unique opportunities like this coin collection. We are incredibly grateful for this exclusive partnership, which provides a significant competitive advantage for newsXpress stores. We believe that when you step into a newsXpress store, you’ll discover a truly different shopping experience—one that is unique, enjoyable, memorable, and deeply appreciated, especially with access to exclusive products like the Royal Australian Mint’s Australian Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book coins.
