Of course they will cash in on any such event.
Its just an excuse to rip off the public.
These are not real coins.

It been on for a while.  The Pobjoy Mint placed privy marks on coins they had previously issued.-John

The Canadian ones are as bad , if not worse than the Perth mint one.
YUCK

I think I prefer the Canadian ones to Perth Mint's so called coin.

I've been to Prince George (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_George,_British_Columbia). Nice place, if a little rustic. I'd get one of those Canadian tourist dollars from Prince George, if I saw one.

But I wouldn't get one of these baby coins. Not Perth, not RAM, not RCM, not Royal Mint, not Pobjoy, not anybody. Maybe if somebody somewhere actually issued a circulating coin, I'd try harder.

Simply a dumb money grabber souvenir called a coin
Can't understand why anyone would pay money for such garbage

Here's New Zealand.  Still waiting for the RAM.-John

The NZ looks ok not that I'm interested
Who really buys all this NCLT rubbish anyway especially from Perth Mint?

I was at the ANA in Rosemont this morning, and the coins from the Pobjoy Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint were on display.-John
