I believe that you can set up an account directly with the RAM, (Royal Australian Mint), and you can order directly with them.
That won't help him with circulating coins, or prior years. :(
ebay probably easiest
Probably easiest to buy from a dealer? Newcastle coins has both 2014 and 2015 still
http://www.newcastlecoins.com.au/c212.html
MR Roberts even has the 2015 set on discount
http://www.wynyardcoins.com.au/shop/australian-decimal-coins/royal-australian-mint/2015/mint-set-2015-6-mint-50th-anniversary/
The trouble with the recent Mint sets from 2012-2015 is that they are not a truly representative set of circulation coins for the year because of the various "Special" coins in them.
To get the complete set for the year you needed to buy the baby set as well or instead.
I think Mr Sarkar would be better off looking through eBay ex roll listings for these as this would most likely be the most cost efficient way of going about sourcing these coins :ok:
As he only requires circulated coins then maybe we could offer to help out when the required number of posts have been attained.
I am pretty sure that there are members here that would be more than happy to help and even trading Aussie coins for Indian coins wouldn't be such a bad idea :)
We're talking what, $3.85 per year? A couple of bucks more if we include circulating commemoratives? Twenty bucks including postage should cover it nicely. And I'm sure we wouldn't have any trouble finding some reasonable quality either. Not UNC, but not rubbish either.

sorry fulvio , I don't understand what I said wrong ,
I know every time I open my mouth , I say something wrong ,
but I wish people would explain what I am saying wrong .
this is the main reason I don't talk much on the forum much anymore .please don't be offended by this , as i know it is not your fault , it is mine for saying the wrong things always .

Nothing wrong with what you said.
You just need to get the hang of how tags work, that's all. And the more you post, the more practice you'll get. Chin up! :)
The critical things are that a) Tags come in pairs, and are enclosed in square [] brackets, and b) The first one goes where you want an effect to start, and the second one, with the /, goes where you want it to end. Oh, and they should nest properly. So if you use tags 1,2,3 then at the other end they should be /3,/2,/1
[ b] [ i]like this bold, italic example[ /i][ /b]
like this bold, italic example
Easy once you get the hang of it. The forum does most of the work for you, though you can do it manually, like I'm doing now in this quick reply. The problems start when you edit things and get the tags messed up. Like you did just then, putting your reply in the middle of my [ quote] block. The right way to do it was to finish what I said with a [ /quote], then start the bit after what you typed with a new [ quote]. That would have put your comment in between two quotes, one with my name and the second without (unless you also typed the attribution in the second one, see?).
You can do this. Really. :)
nit picking on other posters though is quite off putting and can make people, like how Kel has described it, or like another post that I just saw where the poster was chatted about 'spamming' the thread when he simply tried to correct something that other/others had pointed out "Try trimming attributions. Spamming a wall of text serves no purpose other than to increase the number of pages people need to wade through." FFS seriously??????
people can be left feeling intimidated to post
and that isn't what the forum is meant to be about and I also doubt that those who hassle really mean to so constantly intimidate but that becomes the affect
or perhaps once again i am also wrong
Quoteor perhaps once again i am also wrong
I don't think you got it wrong at all RG :ok:
I also think that Fulvio wasn't being intentionally confrontational or dismissive , I think he was just trying to help.

Thanks mate.
Like just about everything in modern life, social media, which this is, is an acquired skill. And like every skill, from hammering a nail to doing brain surgery, some people pick it up quicker than others. There's no shame in that. Like most of us, there are plenty of things I'm totally hopeless at. And for those things, I wish I had people to ELI5 them (Explain Like I'm 5). Usually though, no such help is available, and I'm left to muddle along on my own, trying to glean insights through Google.
So, when something comes along that IS in an area I know a little bit about, whether its Errors, Dogecoin, Computers, Plastics, or anything else, I try to help.
RG, I'm really sorry you see that as intimidating. :(
As for attributions, I was around at the dawn of the Internet. I saw threads on Usenet where people quoted 20 pages of text and then added a single word as their reply. That was stupid then, and its stupid now. Social Media is NOT Email, nor is it Snail Mail. Attributions, If present at all, should be just long enough to make clear what is being replied to, and no longer. Because the original text is right there in front of the reader's nose, and repeating it over and over is like a face-to-face conversation where the other person repeats every word you say back to you. Annoying and a waste of time and effort for all parties.
If you went through every thread here and removed all the attributions, especially the pictures, you could halve the amount of material with zero loss of content. So you're paying (in whatever currency, be it time, money, bandwidth, storage Mark has to pay for or whatever) double for no benefit whatsoever.
So yes,
"FFS seriously!!!!"
All is good Mate.
I have been told that I have all the social skills of a rhinoceros myself.
Ah well , at least I am a happy Rhino ( most Times):yahoo::laugh2:

Thanks for sharing your views and comments, I liked all of them, now Sir, as per one of the member told that I can exchange my Indian coins with some Australian coins with some members, can it possible and are there any member who want to exchange their Australian coin with my some Indian coins, I can exchange some old british indian "anna" coins, some new Indian coins, some old Indian coins also. So are their any Australian member or other member to share their Australian coins with mine Indian coins.

Pranab Sarkar

I have no doubt you'll get a few takers...
...BUT...
The Forum has a '50 post' rule that was put in place to protect both newcomers and existing members. Basically, you need to reach this milestone before anyone is allowed to trade with you, which includes buying, selling, swapping or sending gifts.
50 posts is not a hard target to reach. You don't need to post novel-length detailed comments like *cough* SOME people do, but they should be a little bit more substantial than a single word as well.
Basically just read a few threads (use the 'View Today's Posts' link), and chime in with anything you feel appropriate. It will help people gain some insight into who you are, and the time (and post count) will fly by, I assure you. ;)
And maybe post a piccy or two, whether pics of your collection or even general interest non-coin pics (as long as you put them in the 'Chin Wag' section, not Numismatic sections). I'm sure we'd all be interested in learning more about India and the collecting scene there.
Why not be specific about what coins you would like to trade - assuming you reach 50 posts. By specific I mean write two lists, a "want" list and a "have" list.
You mention "anna" coins, are you aware of this:

I certainly just found out something:imnewhere:
First of all.
:welcome:
To the Forum :)
Hang in there Mate.
It doesn't take long to get 50 posts up and it will help you to get to know us a little better as well.
If Aussie coins are one of your interests then this is the Best site out there and the information you will gain here is probably more worthwhile than a few coins anyday. :ok:
There are a few of us here that have an interest in Indian coins and I am sure that your patience in this will be rewarded in the long run.

Yeah, me too. And :imnewhere: as well. :welcome: fellow newbie! :angel:
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your interest in my posts, I thought as I am a Indian so you all not might have interest to share your information with me, but I was wrong sir, you are all very familier and friendly, thanks for your attention to my posts. sir, I didnt know that India Anna coins have such history. I have some Anna old Indian coins, and some indian commerative coins too
I am mainly interested with Australian 50 cents commerative coins, like commonwealth commerative coins, then others commerative 50 cents coins.
If I could get some good condition Australian 50 cents coins then I could have exchanged my Indian old coins and indian commerative coins too. I did not need UNC coins but rather used and good condition and managed Australian 50 cents coins will suffice my desire for Australian coins. I am mainly interested in all Australian 50 cents coins from 1980 to 2010, but 2014 to 2016 are also my favourite
Australia was always a mysterious country and continent for me from childhood, I always thought to visit there find many things about it, and Australian coins are no difference, so I became a biggest admirer of the Australian coins. The way Australian coins are made, its details, its design, its pattern, its shapes all are out of this world. No country makes so beautiful coins like Australia do. The person who makes this coins are really good artist and there artwork can be seen stamped in the coins.
India has always interested me with it being so rich in History.
I have only been there once as a small Boy and that was only for a couple of hours at an airport sadly.
I have a small collection of Brit India coins from 1835-1947 and I Love the designs and the history of these coins.
When you get your 50 posts up I will gladly send you a selection of different commemorative 50 cent coins, NO exchange will be necessary. :ok:
Quote from: 'trout' pid='102145' dateline='1480541951'When you get your 50 posts up
Perhaps a good start would be some pictures of those Annas? I imagine that each would foster some discussion, that those next 45 posts would fly by quite quickly. :)
