An email just landed in my inbox from the Melbourne Mint (https://www.melbournemintcoins.com.au/shop/book-grand-catalog-of-australian-oceanian-coins/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AUst%20%20Oceanian%20Coin%20Book%2028-2-17&utm_content=AUst%20%20Oceanian%20Coin%20Book%2028-2-17+CID_335911c175d6ad7ad933d57fd44f8362&utm_source=EDM&utm_term=Click%20here%20for%20more%20information) informing me of a new book on Australasian coins, which caught my eye. Looks like author Lukasz Rosanowski has focused on modern issues with the "Grand Catalog of Australian and Oceanian Coins 2000-2017". Looks like locally "issued" NCLT has a sufficiently large global following to make this a viable publication.
Being listed in a popular catalogue drives collector demand by improving awareness. So if I am cynical I would say this is Melbourne Mint's effort to drive the collectability of its products. :)
Bingo.
MM are as dodgy as our favourite aussie TPG. ;)
The Melbourne Mint don't appear to have anything to do with the publication, they're just an outlet.
