2013 Annual Report

2013 Annual Financial Report Macquarie Group MACQUARIE GROUP LIMITED ACN 122 169 279 THE HOLEY DOLLAR In 1813 Governor Lachlan Macquarie overcame an acute currency shortage by purchasing Spanish silver dollars (then worth five shillings), punching the centres out and creating two new coins – the ‘Holey Dollar’ (valued at five shillings) and the ‘Dump’ (valued at one shilling and three pence). This single move not only doubled the number of coins in circulation but increased their worth by 25 per cent and prevented the coins leaving the colony. Governor Macquarie’s creation of the Holey Dollar was an inspired solution to a difficult problem and for this reason it was chosen as the symbol for Macquarie Group. This year celebrates the Bicentenary of the Holey Dollar.
