Title: Ideas for Commemorative Coins
Post by: purplepennyhunter on September 11, 2013, 03:37:30 PM
Well I've realised we missed the 60th birthday of the Paddle Pop (http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/food/sixty-years-later-paddle-pops-are-still-tops/story-fneuz8zj-1226608028290) and we didn't get a commemorative coin.

What would you like to see on a commemorative coin and yes AC you can submit artwork!!!

:D

Closing of the Chiko Roll factory at Bathurst.
Too late for my birthday but, maybe, next year. Perhaps there could be a national lottery to select a random citizen and issue a commemorative coin on that person's next birthday. That would be a wonderful stunt. But, knowing the RAM, it would not come out in time.

OMG what happened to the Chiko Roll factory?

I googled, it hasn't happened? News Story (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/rescue-package-for-chiko-roll-makers/story-e6frg6nf-1226702106590)

BTW no longer Australia owned
