Title: Ratbag and Rascal Roadshow VIC, TAS and NSW
Post by: jens coins on May 17, 2018, 01:28:01 PM
The Royal Australian Mint is hitting the road and bringing the minting experience to towns and cities around Australia on the 2018 Rascals & Ratbags Roadshow.
The first stage of the tour will visit Melbourne, Port Arthur, Hobart, Launceston and Devonport throughout May.
The Mobile Mint Team will be setting up pop-up shops where you can strike an 'Australia' counterstamp onto a Rascals & Ratbags $1 coin, swap coins or cash for freshly minted and special circulating coins, plus browse new products from the Mint.
Rascals & Ratbags is a yearlong theme at the Mint and acknowledges the contributions of Australia's convicts to our history, heritage and folklore. Some were rascals, others ratbags, but each had their own special stories.

So, how'd everybody do?

I rode in and after TONS of bullshit ended up with 30kg in my saddlebags, cramps in both thighs and a hard uphill slog with a flat battery. But at least I didn't get wet so I guess that was a win.

I know Goldy was there early. Anybody else?

Oh, and I might get to pick up any Tassie leftovers next week when they head home. Stay tooned for that. ;)

Federation Square Setup 18 May 2018:

I got to the Square at around 0700 hours and found one gent already there but no tent.   By around 0730, the tent was up and that gent who was first can be seen seated in front of the tent.   Things started slow as they had to "tune up" the portable press and then we were informed that they didn't have 2018 100 Years Of ANZAC coins which didn't help the mood of the folks in the lineup.   After paying for my coins etc they did eventually find the bags of the 2018 ANZAC coins so I was able to get my fill.   The line was not very long at all.   Three behind the counter serving and one on the press.   Went quite well with one lady having to line up 21 times to get her coins as well as other peoples coins.   I trust that she got all she had to get.   I offered to help but she stated she had all day so that was that.   A few regulars were there but not many.   I met up with Jens Coins, (Jenny), and hubby, (Michael) and Peter Andrews arrived 0on the scene.   A little elderly lady turned up who I see at all the shows and Victor, another gent who I see regularly at the shows.  Slightly damp as we had drizzle first up but then it cleared to a fine, overcast day.   I departed the scene around 1100 hours with Jenny and Michael and my wife for a coffee/tea.   Wife and eventually departed around 1330 for home.

Or did you already have 29KG in them when you left home?

Quote from: 'Nevol' pid='115395' dateline='1526777469'Holy Moly, what did you buy? Was it all RAM product?

Yup. All eight of the baggies, and nothing else. They're currently sitting in mushroom tubs, awaiting sealing in chip packets, as I had a conference to attend in Ballarat and only just got home.

I did do some experimenting with one set before I left though:

All the bags have been 'rolled', as per my standard practice. I put one of each of the six rolls (ANZAC and coloured not being part of the year set) into a 100g Twisties bag and tried the Aldi vacuum sealer. Total failure as it can't pull a vacuum with flat (non-ribbed) bags. Then I added a facewasher into the mix and tried again. It worked, but the sealing came too early (it would be nice if you could control the vacuum time). Third try, and I discovered if you pulse the vacuum in short bursts, you can get all the air out before letting it seal. Looked good... until a couple of days later when it became obvious there was a tiny pinhole in the weld.

So, the plan now is to cut up some calico sacks, which have an open enough weave to let the air out, and this time put a second seal in using our non-vacuum sealer. That should hopefully hold and I can process the lot.

I still wish I had clear bags, but I've yet to find any with the multi layers needed to keep all the nasties out. :(

Went out to Parramatta.

Sheesh.
Whilst I lived in the area 13 years ago, It's been about 5 years since I was last there.
The place hasn't changed. :lol:

God that Parramatta Mall (Centenary Square) is a dive. It's no wonder they used to film The Footy Show vox pops segments there.
Walking up to the RAMint pop up shop, there was a busker nearby, singing and playing his heart out on an acoustic guitar. A dero, meth-head walks right up to him, gets right in his face so the busker had to stop singing, and the drongo asks if he can plug his mobile phone USB charger into his guitar to charge.

LOL.

Stay classy Parramatta.


Seemed like a really really REALLY strange place to have a stall with coin-based money. An area which is wall to wall with people begging for loose change.

I doubt if I went to Parramatta now, that I would be totally lost\.

Wife and I left that area in the early 1980"s as a result of my posting whilst in the Army and not been back since.

I suppose a lot of places that I have frequented in my early days have all changed considerably.

Yes he is one of the RAM people. I actually wouldn't mind that official RAM pullover that they are all wearing. I would buy one of those. :to_pick_ones_nose_eat:

They used to have a shirt with a big MOR dollar coin on the back. I'd like that one too.

I actually wanted to ask if they let me stamp a coin twice. But didn't think they will let me.

I know this probably sounds silly to some, but I haven't been to one of the Mint's coin swaps before. I'm thinking of taking little Uni (7) to the Port Macquarie one and was wondering how the "coin swaps" actually work.

My question is ..... do you have to take actual coins to swap? or just cash? 

Do the same rules apply for the mint your own? ie: Do you give them a dollar?

Thanks in advance.

You swap a $20 note for a $20 bag of coins.
You swap a $10 note for a $10 bag of coins.

It's cash only, so don't go there expecting to put it on VISA card.


Though they have the rest of the product sets which are quite pricey, so you would think you should be able to use cashless payment methods. Maybe they are just display items.

The mint your own coin is not a "bring your own coin" affair. It costs $10, and they punch a counterstamp into an uncirculated $1 coin, put it into a folder and hand it to you. You get to push the button yourself to do the cointerstamp.
