Australia 2010 Uncirculated Mint Coin Set - Circulating Coin Designs

Contains each Australian coin seen in circulation in 2010.
In 2010, the Royal Australian Mint broke with standard practice and actively chose to exclude commemorative coins from the six-coin proof and uncirculated coin sets issued that year.
It would seem that collectors the participated in the RAM's annual focus groups advised that this idea was the way forward, and that all commemorative coins issued for circulation should be sold separately to the year sets, presumably available in the two-coin proof and uncirculated coin sets that were also issued from 2008.
If there's one thing that both of Australia's mints are somewhat guilty of, it's fixing things that don't seem to be broke to many collectors.
The fact that the 2-coin year sets were last issued in 2013 shows fairly clearly that collectors didn't respond well to the annual sets without the commemoratives in them.
The mintage of the 2010 year sets reflects that initial lack of demand, and it's much harder to get these days as a result.
