Bananas in Pyjamas 25th Anniversary 2 Coin set

[brismike]

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

[Hercules]

Definitely kiddybait.

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?

[Hercules]

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but I'm intrigued by the possibility that this might be the only time the 5c gets a commemorative reverse before it's withdrawn from circulation, let alone a coloured one.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

[Bigfellani5]

Good news guys. No July release. Mint shut down for a month because of a computer upgrade

[Hercules]

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.

[seedyrom]

Meh. At least on the 16th April 2018, your bananas in pyjamas coins will be worth 25c
