When the wheat quota for his Western Australia farm was cut in 1969, Leonard Casley protested that the government was trying to make him a pauper.

On April 21, 1970, he served notice of secession and declared his 18,500-acre farm a sovereign state, which he called the Province of Hutt River (pop. 20).
1986 January 9, Don Alpert, “Historic Carson City Dollars Still Coveted by Collectors”, in Los Angeles Times:
Fantasy coins are those that appear to be real but are not issued by official authorities. Such is the case with the new commemorative (pictured) from Hutt River Province in Australia. If it doesn't bother you that the province is not recognized in Australia or elsewhere, then perhaps the piece by Hal Reed, a Los Angeles artist, will have some collector interest.
