Are these listed in the Currency determination?
Will they be the Voyage to Terra Australis  "S" couterstamp the same as the Easter Show coins ?

[Goldseeker]

One never knows Interest.

I have sent the RAM an email asking what coin will be stamped.   If and when I get answer I shall post it here.

The convention will be held at the Sydney Olympic Stadium.

I have sent the RAM an email asking what coin will be stamped.  

The Mint Issue says S Terra Australis.

[interest]

apparently we are getting all these counterstamped Voyage to Australis coins. Now in regards to the "S" it doesn't say where they will be done ie: The Royal Easter show, ANDA show or the Rotary International Convention.
But obviously the Rotary & RES coins will be the same (but different)

$1 Copper, Aluminium and Nickel 'S' Counterstamp Coin – A Voyage to Terra Australis

$1 Copper, Aluminium and Nickel 'P' Counterstamp Coin – A Voyage to Terra Australis

$1 Copper, Aluminium and Nickel 'M' Counterstamp Coin – A Voyage to Terra Australis

$1 Copper, Aluminium and Nickel 'A' Counterstamp Coin – A Voyage to Terra Australis

$1 Copper, Aluminium and Nickel 'B' Counterstamp Coin – A Voyage to Terra Australis

A post from the RAM's Facebook page:

"We are in Sydney again from tomorrow! We have been invited to participate in Rotary's 2014 International Convention in Sydney.
The Mint will have a booth at the convention from the 31st May until 4th June 2014, including our mobile press. We'll be giving those attending the conference the chance to pick up an 'S' for Sydney 2014 $1 A Voyage to Terra Australis uncirculated coin.
It is the same coin that was on offer at the Sydney Royal Easter Show and will be seen again at the Sydney ANDA Show later this year. For more info: http://www.ramint.gov.au/media/noticeboard/2014/20140529.cfm
Check out the photos of one of our 'Minties' helping with set-up. And you can find us near the RM Williams truck."

So there are going to be 3 kinds of this coin.
(Please note- the Royal Australian Mint will be attending the Sydney ANDA show later this year and will have the 'S' for Sydney 2014 $1 A Voyage to Terra Australis uncirculated coin and mobile press available there as well. Full mintage of this coin will be 10 000.)

10,000 divided between the three events
Generally have 5,000 at each ANDA show, must mean they didn't do many at the Royal Easter Show, Might send them a tweet & ask.

Hoped on a train & went to Olympic park today to get some of the "S" Sydney counterstamped dollar coins for folks.
WOW,, I could not believe the amount of people there were 1,000's it was like a river of people I was stunned at the amount there were people from all around the world.
So I found where the Mint would be, (The hall of Friendship) people were streaming into this place like the messiah was giving eternal life,
I am not joking. I got in a queue got to the door & this guy stops me & said I don't have identification I can't go in. Found out where I get registered to gain entry, headed there, went up to the counter, "I want to register please."
"Yes sir, that will be $410.00 USD" No no no you don't understand I don't want to buy the place I just want to go in the hall of Friendship"
"Yes sir that is the cost, there was a day pass for Saturday for $44.00USD, but you have missed that so the fee is $410 USD"
Thanks but no thanks.
So I went back to the hall of Friendship & got in the middle of a group of people & snuck past the doorman, but two cops seen me & threw me out cause I didn't have identification.MAN.
So I went to another door that had  people from Mongolia walking in. got past security right up to a point where everybody's identification is scanned in & also when they leave. so I pretended I'd lost my identification, what will I do now?? put on a bit of a scene. This other security guard comes up to see what's the problem, "this Rotarian here has lost his pass"
Come with me & I'll take you down to lost & found you can report it lost. I said there are to busy to leave so I will go by myself.
Anyway I was not able to get into The hall of Friendship. To get anything.
Sorry bout that. but I sure tried.
