Stop press! We've just received news that Perth Mint is planning to release the first ever Australian Glow-in-the-dark coin. An innovative release using the Perth Mint's state-of-the-art minting techniques, this is no doubt set to be a highly sought after coin. Currently information surrounding the coin is scarce but rest-assured the minute we have more information, we'll let you know.

ok, a thought as I ran over to comlaw >> http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013L00065/Explanatory%20Statement/Text

i wonder if the R.C.M is happy that the R.A.M is pinching their idea ?
I will pass on these, i didn't like the concept with the Canadian "Dino" coins and I highly doubt that I will like the Aussie version either :kez_11:
