    Default 100 Years of ANZAC $1 coin - please explain

    The new $1 coin has on its face

    100 Years of ANZAC
    The Spirit Lives
    2014-2018

    It took me some time to realise that the Powers That Be are celebrating the centenary of each of the years in WWI, how confusing, I would have thought a more suitable memorial to the troops would have been inscribing the coin

    100 Years of ANZAC
    The Spirit Lives
    1914-2014

    or do we now celebrate each year of a event where it spans more than one year? And my dusty memory of history tells me that the term ANZAC came into use in 1915, so the 100 years would be 2015?
