All coins will be forwarded with virgin folders.
At this stage cost for each coin wanted will be what the RAM charges me. (Past cost was $3.00 per coin).
Postal costs will be $6.00 per packet which includes Registered Post. This should cover postal costs up to six coins. If more than six coins are required then actual charges will be charged.
No monies required until called for then I shall notify each person the total cost, (coins and postage) and bank account details for direct bank deposit.
Each receipt of monies will be acknowledged and each person will be advised of the dispatch details of the coins.
All orders to be received by me no later that 22 Jan 2014.

19 Dec 2013
The Royal Australian Mint will be hosting two special events over New Year. On New Year's Eve visitors to the Mint will have the chance to enter a ballot to strike the last coin of 2013 on the public gallery press. On New Year's Day, coin enthusiasts will vie for the chance to strike the first coin of 2014.
Coin enthusiasts will be keen to get their hands on the very last coin produced at the Royal Australian Mint in 2013, and they'll have the chance on Tuesday 31 December 2013. The Mint will hold a ballot among the visitors from around 4 pm to decide who will have the honour of creating and keeping the last coin of the year. The coin will be the 2013 $1 Holey Dollar and Dump 'C' Canberra Mintmark Uncirculated Coin which has been produced on the public gallery press throughout the year.
The excitement continues on New Year's Day with what some coin enthusiasts regard as the event of the year at the Royal Australian Mint, the striking of the very first coin. Keen numismatists line up, often camping outside the Mint for days to ensure they're the first in line for 2014's first coin off the press. The first 100 coins produced come with an official certificate and are highly sought after. Doors open on New Year's Day at 10 am on Wednesday 1 January 2014.

sunburn, chatting to the folks in the line, the mint puts on a bit of brekky now

I have all the coins people wanted except the Triangle Coin as they were sold out ages ago.
