Notes:

The 2000 twentieth ounce Kangaroo in Grass $5 gold coin was housed, encapsulated on a colourful, serially numbered presentation card. As part of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games celebrations, a quantity of coins were sold with an official 'Millennium Man' logo pin included on the card. The logo is based on stylised designs of boomerangs, the Sydney Opera House and the Olympic Rings.

The coin was also included in 600 5 coin proof sets released by the Perth mint.
