I've ordered a couple of these in anticipation they'll do ok.
Triangle $5 Lest We Forget (http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2014/03/2014-5-silver-proof-lest-we-forget-anzac-triangular-coin.html)
RAM pre-order (https://eshop.ramint.gov.au/2014-5-Silver-Triangular-Coin/210279.aspx)
Why didn't the RAM put that reverse onto a normal circulating coin. I like it.
But to purchase one, another triangular coin, not for me.

Agreed about the design, the Queen is looking old, not very flattering.
True coins are round shape ... just like True banknotes are rectangular
Triangle ... more mint garbage

Wrong, in so many ways.
10,000 is a bit much, but I'm sure it will be a sell out.

Yeah.
I can think of lots wrong with NCLT, but shape has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of coins in the world that aren't round, including, wait for it... our very own 50ยข! :P
Well to some of us shape does have something to do with it, don't like triangles, plain and simple.

Well, neither do I, TBH. I think its a gimmick. But that doesn't make it any less a valid coin... :angel:
currently traveling at over $175 on Ebay,
Looks like PPH might have called it on this one, the RAM has announced on their Facebook page that the coin is only available via phone order due to high demand. I bet the sneaky beggars are making more.

with no bids
There's further activity with the RAM stating if you call/email/enquire now you'll likely be unsuccessful in purchasing one of these coins.
There selling well on ebay now. plenty of bidders.
Wow, there selling for over $250 on ebay.
Couldn't believe my luck this morning when I spotted this Lest We Forget $5 Triangle Coin in a local post office.
After like nearly a month after sold out it was at the original price so naturally I purchased it.
Nice!!
