haha a big WTF, there was other coin moulds that were on the site a few days ago, but also could be, the changeover of the queen design itself, go figure i will have a looksee, and poor choice of music

The coins resins will be used to make a fantastic sculpture which will be unveiled at the Mint on 27 June 2013.





We all know the two coin releases will be this in NCLT Cu Ni
And Silver

Haha I played it this morning, kiddie graphics! And I laughed, I think it's trying to be educational; anyway it has a countdown for info to be released on different days, so you know after the minting process the have the designing dies and stamping then colouring of the $2 coin. Not overly exciting if you are a coin collector and already know all this stuff, exciting to a 5yr old maybe, not me! Anyway should have spent an extra $5 in the budgeting department and done a nice YouTube clip of the final coin design rotating on a stand a giving a 360 view of it, instead of getting a student to do school diagram – patronising people does not work.

2013 $2 Copper Aluminium and Nickel Colour Printed Coin – 60th Anniversary of the Queen's Coronation

The design includes the inscriptions 'EIIR CORONATION', '60 YEARS' and 'TWO DOLLARS' as well as three representations of a dot.

But what is the stage three that someone mentioned in an earlier post?

[Australian coin]

ill copy the text >>

1 creating blanks :
Did you know:
Australia's $1 and $2 coins might look gold, but they are both made out of the same metal alloy, which is 92% copper, 6% aluminium, and 2% nickel.

2 the titan :
Did you know:
Titan, the Mint robot, is getting busy with Australia's new coins! He's pouring them from a drum into a hopper, to get the coins ready to be counted!

Pay attention to the colours of the coin drums at the Mint, as each colour shows what coin they hold!

Blue = 5 cent
Purple = 10 cent
Green = 20 cent
Orange = 50 cent
Yellow = $1
Red = $2

What does this drum contain? pic shows 3 red drums!

3 the counter :
Before the design is struck onto the coin, the Mint needs to know how many coins are going to be made!

They go through a counting machine so the Mint knows just how many are getting sent out to the banks.

pic shows = 2,000,000 and the word (circulation)  


if I have missed anything in the pics let me know... cant be bothered to pay that much attention to it
