Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='40204' dateline='1390358992'I have had a reply from the RSAM re the 1992 $1 Kangaroo Coin and here it is below:

Good Morning Mr *********,

The 1992 $1 'five kangaroos' coin that you are referring to on the website is a circulating coin, and the information on the website accurately reflects the production amount reported in the Royal Australian Mint's annual report containing that year. It might help to note that there is no record kept of the quantities of coins issued into circulation by date, and never has been.

The Barcelona $1 coin was a numismatic product, and 16 996 of these were produced at the Royal Australian Mint and were available only through the onsite Mint shop.

We hope this information is of assistance to you

Customer Service Team
Royal Australian Mint

Now does the above response clear the air? I am not sure as I still do not have a 1992 Kangaroo Coin in my collection. Now does anyone on this forum have this coin please?

There is NO such animal Goldie :ok:

Well that contradicts what we were told by the RAM. I think you're going to be pushing excrement uphill if you want one of these Bruce because they don't exist.

And yet... at least one clearly DOES exist.

A proof. Not a circulating coin.

The 1992 $1 'five kangaroos' coin that you are referring to on the website is a circulating coin,

I will be visiting the RAM this coming weekend and I shall try and sort this thing out thedn.

Plus, I hope to have a few more emails that I sent in the past 7 months answered at the same time.

Another reason for me to really consider giving the whole game away.......

More to follow upon my return after Wednesday, 29 Jan 2014.

Goldseeker there would be nobody at RAM on the weekend that could help you,Gift shop employees just work there as sales assistants... Australia Day long weekend as well :dodgy:

There are some 1992 MOR dollars, they're just very scarce (and that 8000 figure doesn't refer to them).

Ozcoins · January 23, 2014, 04:48:36 PM

Could you elaborate?
Were they issued into circulation?
Just some NCLT made?
Only a few 'mint sport' coins made?
Any idea of how many there are?

Goldseeker · January 23, 2014, 05:57:09 PM

I m ust also ask, where are they and for what were they minted for please?

wwwww · January 23, 2014, 06:23:40 PM

They appear at auction every now and then, I've only encountered two separate examples though there are likely a couple more. No idea how they came about, possibly mint sport, one dealer has suggested they came from 1991 proof sets though I've found no evidence of this. The last one I recall went for $1200 at a Downies sale.

Looks like this topic has already been discussed on this forum.

They made some interesting points.

Maybe somebody has got 195 rolls of them stashed away.

For a rainy day.

I've browsed the threads and condensed into this:
1992 Mob of Roos $1, does it exist?

SULLA · January 26, 2014, 05:57:03 PM

Ce n'est pas moi!

Good article, though the last paragraph seems to have escaped the proof-readers. :diablo:
