From NBC/Reuters:
The 47-year-old man is accused of stealing 64,000 unreleased, limited-edition coins, according to "Strike Force Bandit," a special unit police set up to investigate the theft.
A raid on a Sydney house in June recovered 189 coins and Doueihi said the vast bulk of coins are already in circulation. Those who receive one do not need to surrender it to police, he added.
The coins, produced by the Australian mint, look like A$1 coins and would be legal tender. Police say they are selling online for ten times their face value.

Collectors here in Australia had been wondering how so many were entering the market before they were officially released. Now we know.
