Title: Don't forget
Post by: Nevol on April 04, 2016, 12:58:27 PM
Today you can buy 20 x 2016 20c, 20 x 2016 10c and 20 x 2016 5c for $10 coins from RAM if you're prepared to cough up $10 for Postage.

Double face value.  I thought today was going to be the $2, but they've changed the release order apparently.

Thanks Nancy.

Good old RAM.  Banks get them for $7 the lot. Same coins for $20 to us: no packaging, just give us $20.

Looks like they are just made up from normal circulation issue coins which means they will probably be mostly badly marked already.
Can anyone buying some of the previous release (I think 50ยข have already been released if my memory isn't playing tricks) confirm if my suspicion is true ot not.

Why not wait until they bring out all of them, the $1 and $2 as well? Then get all for combined $10 shipping?

I am sorry to be pedantic Nancy but I was under the impression that the

20c is x 20 coins
10c is x 40 coins?
5c is also 40 coins?

The coins are :
20 cent - 20 coins in pack - $4.00
10 cent - 40 coins in pack - $4.00
5c coins - 40 coins per pack - $2.00
Total $10 plus $10 postage.
You have to purchase the bags of 5c, 10c and 20c as 1 lot. No separate purchases.


The 50c coins that were released in February were bag marked a lot.
Don't know if these others will be any better but hard to think so.

The RAM is saying that they are available for a limited time so you cannot purchase all the coins at once to save on postage.

I just ordered 2 lots of these :)
I hope I get another couple of the little albums with them like I did when I ordered the 50c baggies.

Oh dear, so sorry.  I don't know where my brain was, half asleep I guess. :blush2:

Does this mean that we can't buy the 5, 10, 20 and 50 in one go?

Not sure as the 50c are still on the website today.
They said something about being available for 50 days I think.

The 50 cent coins are still available but you can't get them to combine shipping with the newer offering.

hmmm... I think you can get 1 x 50c bag, and 1 x multi-pack (3 bags 1 each of 20c, 10c, 5c) for $10 total shipping. i.e. $30 total

Yes I can confirm this, but still only one pack of each per order.

Do we get another little album to put these coins in like we did with the 50c lot?
I hope so as I  only have 2 of these and 3 Granddaughters that collect.

No album accompanied my recent purchase of the 3 lower denomination bags.

Maybe that offer has closed, or it only applies when bags of 50c are purchased. Earlier in the year I did buy 1 bag of 50c and rec'd 1 'album' (folder).

The album is only with the 50c coins.

Thanks Jenny.
I will order another 50c baggie so that the grandies can get an album each.
