Coin Swap announced by RAM

[trout]

I got an email from RAM (legends), This is the guts of it :ok:
What the hell is "tweeting" ??


We are going to hold a coin swap later this year for the new 2013 60th Anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II $2 circulating coin – and we want you to pick the location! Nominations are limited to Australian capital cities only, and entries are to be lodged on Twitter by tweeting @RoyalAustMint and include the hashtag corresponding to the city they wish the coin swap be held:

Brisbane - #CoinSwapBrisbane
Sydney - #CoinSwapSydney
Canberra - #CoinSwapCanberra
Melbourne - #CoinSwapMelbourne
Hobart - #CoinSwapHobart
Adelaide - #CoinSwapAdelaide
Perth - #CoinSwapPerth
Darwin - #CoinSwapDarwin

Tweeting is the means of communication on Twitter.  You're supposed to update everybody on your life events in bursts of 140 characters or less.  I'm on there, but I don't use it or care for it much.  Some of the mints use it for announcements every now and then.-John

"A" Location? What are these imbeciles thinking? How is ONE location on a continent in any way a good idea?? This should be done at ALL capital cities.
Oh, and tweets are for twits. I refuse to play that game.

I'm on twitter a bit can be fun & informative.
Just followed the Mint to tell them pretty much what Fulvio said.
What a joke, what do they expect people to be jumping up & down screaming "Bring it here we want it, bring it here"

[robbiegal]

yes they do

it's a scoping exercise

I reckon it will be Melbourne

??Is it only one city or are they asking for a location within each capital city?

They want us to choose just 1 city out off the list :ok:

[triplewitch]

One city only will be the winner.  Maybe they've have another tweet campaign for the location in that city.-John

[robbiegal]

probably somewhere close to Downies
somewhere near that Gothic Bank in Melbourne
I reckon

I reckon

most of the coronation coins are showing up in Melbourne
densest population - me thinks

According to the RAM Facebook page last night, Perth was in the lead.-John
