Gee just looking at the RAM site and now wonder what they don't do, except make a decent coin these days so hope their jewellery is better quality than their coins..and cheap for plated junk :angel:

yeah, some things are not great, I can understand them trying to commemorate stuff, but some things and the history behind it may not have a following or audience, I cannot justify purchasing coins now days, they don't look pretty, the mintage are over the top, and the designs are just boring

they should really employ me for there advertising department and designs
