context_section_description: Macquarie Group takes its name from Major General Lachlan Macquarie, one of Australia's early leaders who established the nation's first bank, introduced its first currency and initiated many significant economic and social reforms.
  Macquarie Group's logo is a stylised representation of the Holey Dollar, Australia's first official currency.
  In 1813, Governor Lachlan Macquarie overcame an acute currency shortage in the colony of New South Wales by importing 40,000 Spanish silver dollars and punching a hole through the centre of them to create two unique coins, the Holey Dollar and the Dump. The new currency stimulated the economy while retaining its intrinsic value, with the two new coins worth 25 per cent more than the original.
  According to Macquarie Group, the Holey Dollar was Australia's earliest example of financial innovation and embodies its pursuit of practical approaches with profitable outcomes.
