Ok so not a new release but still a 2013 coin for those keeping their 50 cents up to date. Marks pic of this coin looks amazing.

I like the surfboard packaging - almost more than the coin!
The packaging on this coin is not warranted as one cannot find a storage page to store it in. Why doesn't the RAM standardise its packaging and put 50c pices into credit card packaging.
I have hunted all over the place for a suitable storage page for nothing.

For the same reason the video industry was using all sorts of oddball packaging. To make it stand out and therefore sell more.
Its a gimmick. One that, sadly, us humans are programmed to fall for.
Surfboard packaging is a gimmick the PNC version is best for storage
