The coins then were made of 80% silver and 20% copper, but as the value of a free-floating silver price became higher, the coins' bullion value became more valuable than their face value and so were withdrawn from circulation. so the value of 1994 Australian $1 coins was more than 1989 Australian $1 coins.

Now that you mention it, that probably is entirely true. However, I was heading down the path that salocius found - think quantity not value! Sorry!
I can't believe how quickly these were solved. You realise now, the next set are gonna have to be near to impossible now. I'll have to raise the bar somewhat! :!:
