A special $2 coin bearing a red poppy has been produced to commemorate the wartime sacrifice of Australian service personnel.
It is the first coloured coin produced by the Australian Mint and only 500,000 being made.
The red poppy coin is being distributed by the RSL for a donation of about $10.
There will also be a non-coloured version and both are legal tender.
Brisbane soldier Lance Corporal Owen Perry, who has lost 16 mates in Afghanistan over the last two years, says it is important Australians support the 2012 Poppy Appeal.
Lance Corporal Perry spoke at the Appeal launch in Brisbane's Anzac Square today where crosses were placed in the Field of Remembrance.
