I've seen a few albums made for the commemorative coins. Most albums that I have seen present them as single denomination only. I felt there are some coins that look better as a set such as 2005 WWII, 2016 decimal commemorative coins. Dansco has made an Australian Type set album but I believe they were last made around 1970s and there is no updated version.

This is a set for circulated commemorative coins. Most of the coin images are from RAM or from numista. I'm sure there are room for improvement as I had to do some creative shuffling to make the design work.

Let me know what you think.

Small images and have included larger image

Would be interested to know if there is a manufacturer for such albums...

Yes, looks great. I would certainly like to see such an album created. Hope it becomes a reality. Well done!

Ooooh.....think you might have hit a nerve with some collectors by putting the 2012 Red poppy in as a circulated commemorative coin.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Took some time for me to design this.

I knew I forgot something which is the French Olympic coin set. I'm sure there will be more coins to come later in the year anyway... I should also add some extra text for the Big Things. Was a bit tricky to try to map the coins to the locations. I think it's a missed opportunity as there are definitely more big things to be added. Maybe I shouldn't give RAM ideas...

crab eater - I had real dilemma over how to present the red poppy coins. But considering the mintage of the coin hunt and big things to be lower than the red poppy - I had to include it! The last four pages are designed as optional... I read on here that some forum members have also found them in circulation.

Looks impressive nonetheless.
