In 2018, the Mint partnered with Questacon – The National Science and Technology Centre to strike its AC/DC coins with a bolt of man-made lightning.
The experiment was conducted in the Caged Lightning exhibition at Questacon, which produced lightning using a Tesla coil.
Ten AC/DC 50 cent pieces, featuring the high-voltage logos and design elements from AC/DC albums, were ‘Thunderstruck’ with 3,500,000 volts of lightning.
The second coin was the Mint’s first ever nickel-plated coin. Not only black, its detailed design is minted on a triangular blank to resemble a guitar pick.
“AC/DC is famous for their electrifying energy,” Mint CEO Ross MacDiarmid said at the time.
“It’s in their music, the titles of some of their songs, even their insignia.
“The Mint thought that such an iconic band deserved high-voltage coins and an electrifying launch to match.
“We weren’t sure what effect the lightning would have on the coins, but we discovered that because the coins are such excellent conductors of electricity, the lightning’s mark is only visible under magnification.”
The coins were officially licensed AC/DC merchandise from the Mint.
The October 2020 coin set comes at a time when it’s widely speculated the band’s long-awaited album will drop by the end of the year.
