Australian Decimal NCLT / 2021/22 Baby sets
November 09, 2022, 03:49:07 PM
Hi, is there any indications of the mintage of the baby sets for any of these 2 years, as together they make up a unique set of each of the coins in a 'kids' format. The original postings were unlimited, but that is before the RAM was rushed with orders so it is unlikely they would have had time to manufacture a second batch. They are certainly a cool combined set, and some may still be available from the Mint shop in Canberra. Dealers seem to have well and truly sold out. Thanks for any feedback

Australian Decimal NCLT / RE: Coins from Woolies.
July 22, 2021, 09:23:26 AM
Picked up my folders from Woolies last week, and got a few olympic coins in change. This week got a few more in change but didn't realise they are releasing a different one each week into the tills. That explains why they were all the same last week

Has anyone else heard about a coloured 'G' coin being released as a PNC at Post Offices? I have no details, other than the release maybe this month.

Australian Decimal NCLT / RE: 2021 RAAF PNC
February 12, 2021, 06:48:33 AM
Quote from: 'jens coins' pid='124362' dateline='1613028653'Ordered 1 online from the Australia Post website with no hassles.
Also picked up a couple from local post office.

Good pickup. They seem to be going around the $40 mark on ebay with some asking crazy prices over $100. If you want one get to a PO ASAP. They have run out where I live, but may be able to get one in for you from larger POs.

Australian Decimal NCLT / 2021 RAAF PNC
February 11, 2021, 05:27:04 PM
Has anyone managed to get the RAAF anniversary $1 PNC with the envelope privy mark issued by Australia Post. The back of it says that there are only 7500 issued, so will that mean it will go the way of the 'A' alphabet envelope privy mark issued last year?

Received the email, and now sorted out.

I had the same problem

Just slightly ticked off by the cancellation here in Tassie, and others to follow as well, as it was my only chance to get the bags of current coins. Had arranged a day off work to go to the event. Hope they are going to make them available online to compensate for the lack of attendance .

Coin Chit Chat / Popup stores

Is there a listing anywhere to show where the Mint pop up stores will be in 2020? I've only seen the one for the Chinese New Year coins.

Coin Chit Chat / RE: 1st coin mintage of the millenium
January 04, 2020, 06:45:07 PM
Oops, my bad.
At least it was the 12th coin minted for the year -world wide.
The Mint did a great job, with heaps of kids getting prizes and lots of media coverage in Canberra on WIN news. Lots of excitement and interest. It was well organised and they not only put the coins carefully in capsules and presentation box, but had nice certificates of authenticity with each one, a $20 gift voucher, and a folder for the PO $1 alphabet coins (obviously made too many!).
Thank you RAM for making our holiday to Canberra more eventful.

Coin Chit Chat / 1st coin mintage of the millenium
January 01, 2020, 11:27:32 AM
Did anyone else make it to the draw for the first 100 coins minted at the RAM? Was a good crowd so felt lucky to get the 12th one in the draw.

I reckon the rolls have bought out another Great Aussie tradition - a gamble! To open or not open, that is the gamble.

My last PO crawl today to get the last 6. One PO I went to had run out in the first week, but ended up ordering more and got more 1st week ones in. They have been really nice and saved me a set last week and then gave me another 2 sets in change for a chocolate bar. They had a few envelopes with the set for the week in their drawer, so i was not the only one to benefit from their generosity. It means I now will have some swaps if anyone needs some gaps filled.

Thanks, Jens for the week by week release. Very helpful.
And wondering, like Nevol, what the mintage is likely to be. Having fun on a PO crawl anyway. Bought quite a few $1 stamps to get coins in change

I just went to our local PO and they said the sets are not available till the end of the month, yet someone here has already bought a set. Confused.
So I just bought a $1 stamp and pocketed a few of the till ones.
