Someone on eBay is selling loose 2025 $2 Remembrance 80th Anniversary of End WWII coins from the 5 coin bags that the RAM do for the coin swaps.
As far as I know the RAM haven't done any coin swaps, so how did this seller have a bag to photograph?
It looks like these will be the coins available at the coin swap.

Here's the link for the picture of the RAM bag.

Annoys me that they do this for an insular corner of the ACT. Sure, I know the Mint is there, but surely they could make these things an Australia wide event somehow.

Yeah bit annoying it's Canberra only.

I'm considering going to Jamala Wildlife lodge in September for our anniversary.
Want to bet that RAM will have an event here in Brisbane then?
