Title: 2013 Australian Coins and Banknotes Book
Post by: MattGold on December 12, 2013, 07:25:37 PM
Hey all I see a few collectors on and off the forum receiving their guides today. Just wondering if anyone would know if the 2013 $2 Coronation coin mintage is correct in the book or not? I might be reading it wrong but it is telling me only 500,000 minted.

Thanks

2 million. Split over two years, with around 900k in the current report.

500,000 was suggested for the remembrance red poppy. I would have to check the report to confirm.

so when the book went to the printers the mintage was probably 500,000
a contemporaneous report of the mintage to that date

I was thinking it would have been a mistake where they used the poppy mintage instead but by what the other members are saying I guess I will have to wait until next year for the mintages of the coronation $2 to be printed.

Thanks All

We'll all have to wait until November next year to find out real numbers from the RAM report. Nothing sooner will be definite. Even then they could be more but we'll all be excited over some green stripes and a dove by then.
