Just bought this set (http://www.australian-coins.com/australian-decimal-changeover/2016-perth-mint-50th-anniversary-of-decimal-currency-two-coin-set/). First purchase from the Perth Mint in a very very very long time.
Now the oversize silver 1 and 2 cent are amazing the additional original bronze 1 and 2 cents included are abysmal. Cleaned and polished circulated coins...ick
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Did they pay some mint worker's high school kid to search bank rolls to find all of the coins they included with the sets? You would think they would have found (purchased from a dealer) some decent AU / BU coins to use! Especially at the asking price of the set! It is nice looking though and I'm tempted to get one!
It is NOT an expensive or difficult exercise to get rolls of uncirculated 1 and 2 cent coins.
You would have thought that they would have made some sort of effort with this :dodgy:

I'm not surprised.
