I used to swim most days in Long Tan swimming pool in Townsville
The pool was named after the battle

Be nice to live where you can swim all year round and it not have to be a heated pool plus I don't like pools that much and much prefer the river or the ocean :winkextra:
The ANDA $1 MOR coins with "P", "B", & "M" privy marks and the "S" still to come
The $1 Australia 1st Mint series. "C", "S", "B" counterstamp and the

Way to go RAM.
Another ali bronze $5 coin to put in the junk bin :angel:
They are certainly trying to make sure there is something that is suitable for every taste.
There is no shortage of ideas about what the RAM can produce.

Being a "Bushy" I always buy in bulk.
If I want some beef I will half or a full beast and if I want groceries I normally get them by the carton.
I have a bad habit of buying coins the same way, So I have multiples of the 2016 sets and single coins as a result:angel:
With this many different releases this year that I like the costs have been pretty high compared to other years .
got my $1 bag today
thanks for the post letting us know they were available
but in having to pay $10 for post, I also ordered a bunch of other stuff turning my $10 order into a $83 order!!
that is also how they get us !!
keeps people in jobs and I feel good about that
I'm trying to put 20 sets of the 50th anniversary coins together, for trading. I'm sure the $2 coins will come in bags of 5, so that means I will have to place 4 orders on the RAM and it will cost $40 in postage. :(
oh heck
hadn't thought of that
Wynard coins is preordering the rolls - might work out cheaper?
maybe not? $100 for roll
$50 for the $1 roll

Yeah, I checked that out when I saw Trout's post about them earlier in this thread.
Still dearer to buy them that way, but quality might be better. Not that the quality
concerns too much.

You could always order a roll when they come out.
I think the premium would be about the same as RAM but the coins should be better :good:
When they finally turn up here I might be able to help you out Steve, they just have to turn up first :(
Thanks AJ, but I will just bite the bullet and buy them from the RAM.
Like I said, they are for trading, so I will just trade them at 2 x face.
My biggest problem, is the wife is saving for our next cruise, when she
sees the credit card statement I could be in big trouble.
time to get your own card me thinks
Or try and get to the mail before she does or just deny everything like I do :)
