Colourful Surprise?

November? Why then? The anniversary was the other day...

Mister T · June 14, 2013, 05:53:08 PM

I meant the Remembrance day $2. The annual report covering last year will come out in November won't it?

Yes thereabouts. I am wondering why they haven't released these purpular coins yet as we are past the anniversary.

Do mints measure time only in years :sleepy: i.e. months, weeks and days are neither here nor there to a coin, or QEII for that matter. :scratch_one-s_head:

Yeah, it's strange. The Royal Wedding 20c pieces came out in a reasonably timely manner as I recall.

It might be a new process with problems along the way.-John

The Remebrance Day coloured $2 saga is still fresh in our minds. Remembrance Day had completely been and gone before the coins were even distributed, let the whole thing down I think.

Mister T · June 15, 2013, 08:12:35 AM

Ah yes, I forgot about that. Still, did the currency determination with the new $2 only come out very recently?

I think the way the RSL coin was distributed and packaged was a joke.
And now you see these coins popping up on fleabay in rolls.

Yes it did appear in May's Currency Determination.

If you can't stand the wait this is the link:

Note there are 2 different reverses. One has the 3 dots and the other 2 dots and a "C" so it must be being released at some special event.

We're pretending we didn't see that.-John

I thought that and did put in a warning but have now changed it to a link.

Ah. The 'C' mintmark is the collectable version of the circulation coin.-John

I guess this topic should really be moved to Australian Decimal Circulating Coins since it turns out not to be NCLT.-John

Here it is!
