Dollar Donation coin Aperture Priority

"Give to Help Others"

 

The f/10 aperture did not improve things, even on a tripod, over the hand-held f/5.6 can't remember setting!

A history-making plan to motivate Australians to donate to charity regularly will have people thinking twice when they reach for small change.

 

In a world-first, 25-million one-dollar coins carrying the phrase "give to help others" will be released into circulation over the next three years, in a bid to encourage Australians to donate more money to charities more often.

 

"Most Australians who are very generous are only usually generous once a year, they think of giving before tax returns and that's a one off," Community Council for Australia chair Tim Costello said.

 

"This is in our pockets all the time, it's making the routine of giving not just once a year, but every time we pull out a donation dollar we are challenged to say 'Am I spending this on myself or giving it others?'

 

 

"It's a mindset change that I think is very profound."

 

Through the many crises of 2020, charities have found themselves hugely in demand with donations drying up.
