Another June Release is this 2 coin set containing a 5 cent and a 20 cent coin.
Following on from last years Playschool set is this Bananas in Pyjamas set. Priced at $30 the coins are Coloured and Frosted. The 5 cent coin is the first ever coloured 5 cent coin issued. Mintage is 15,000. Definitely kiddybait.

Gee there has been a lot of staggered coin releases this year

They're also great for nostalgia. Something tells me they're aimed at people like me who just happened to watch the original series when it aired back in 1992. :dash1:

I wish they would let us know at the beginning of the year what the planned releases for the year are with dates and prices. I know there is a "Currency Determination" but that is not easy to interpret and sometimes seems to include things that never actually get released.

:i_agree: I'm sick of buying stuff from the mint, only to have them come out with something else I want a few days or weeks later, and then having to pay for multiple sets of postage. I reckon they do it deliberately to keep Australia Post occupied. :@

You should stop falling for it. You know these won't sell out in a hurry. :) Just wait until you have a full basket worth of $10 shipping.
Is this the first ever coloured 5c coin?

Yes. Normally, I wouldn't fall for this sort of thing, but I'm intrigued by the possibility that this might be the only time the 5c gets a commemorative reverse before it's withdrawn from circulation, let alone a coloured one. In any case, I reckon they should mint these coins en masse and hand them out at school tuckshops, because that's where they're likely to make the greatest impact. :winkextra:

That's awesome!
Though my kids are struggling to find a changeover 5c coin in their shrapnel ... let alone a coloured coin
Good news guys. No July release. Mint shut down for a month because of a computer upgrade
Nice. I hope it stays shut until I've paid for all my Commonwealth Games tickets. There's nothing worse than spending money on coins when you're trying to save for something else.
Meh. At least on the 16th April 2018, your bananas in pyjamas coins will be worth 25c
