for which coin?

the had the centenary of Canberra swap - at the cricket grounds and then later down at the lake - swaps
tent and all

did they have one for the coronation dollar?
I only knew that they were selling them in the bags and you STILL had to pay $8 post for the one bag and per bag

so the little bags were on display but you had to order and they posted
it has been very odd this one

It was all a ploy to get people on their mailing list. We now get three copies of Mint Issue. :dodgy:

That's three ballot forms you can send off. At $600 per coin you might strike gold!

It would be if I had any faith in the whole ballot thing, which I don't. Too many bad experiences with Perth Mint ballots maybe.

The RAM have just sent out a media release and it says that Brisbane won the twitter vote Coronation $2 swap by just 2 votes over Adelaide.

It might have made a difference if they'd ever mentioned who was in second place. It's still an odd thing to say now. I wonder if they're not setting up for another go.

Looks like the RAM will consider Brisbane a success.

Pictures on Facebook show a long line of people waiting. I hear they started with a $100 swap limit but about 12.30 reduced that to $20 and 15 minutes later to $10.

They may have underestimated the interest and not brought enough to last until 4.00pm.

Yeah I would have got everyone here to join twitter for the occasion. I certainly haven't been back there since I joined just to vote.

And looks like they ran out at 3.00pm when they were scheduled to continue until 4.00.
