Combiningscale andinnovation

In 1813, Australia’s most successful earlygovernor, Lachlan Macquarie, overcame anacute currency shortage with ingenuity. Hepurchased Spanish silver dollars, punchedout the centres and created two new coins: the “Holey Dollar” and the “Dump.”

Thanks to this idea, Governor Macquariewas able to do three things:

1. Double the number of coins in circulation;2. Increase their total worth by 25 per cent;and

3. Prevent the coins from leaving the colony.

Governor Macquarie’s creation of the Holey Dollar was an innovative financial solution, making it the ideal inspiration forthe Macquarie Group name and logo.
