A valiant effort, Interest.  Nobody can say you didn't try.

Wow, really? So you couldn't just stop buy and pickup a coin. That's very harsh. NOT very friendly!

Sounds like an unusual spot for the RAM to set up if collectors couldn't get in there. Bad luck Interest but looks like you gave it a good go!

$410 may even buy a ticket on one these days. On another tack though :dodgy:, if all the international Rotarians bought up big, the "S" counter stamp may be difficult to source later on :idea:

That $410 was USD not AUD.
The "S" dollar there is the same as the "S" that they sold at the Royal Easter Show, last month & will be the same as they sell at ANDA Sydney.
So haven't really missed out on anything except the fact that I don't have the dollar from this pressing, I have the RES & I will get the ANDA. even though there the same, it will be just like getting a coin from the left press at the Mint & not one from the right press.
I know, yeah, there the same, but I always get one from each, & one from everywhere else, always have, bit I've just been stopped.

Oh & I tried to get three Volunteers to go in & get me some coins, but they only had their "station" where they could be at any one time,
I asked a few people if I could borrow their identifications so I could get in they all refused (bastards, I thought Rotarians were helpful, LOL)
Then I asked four different people if they would go in & get me the coins, three refused, but hen John, from Stoke on Trent was almost going to do it for me until I wanted to give the $100 to get the coins. Then he went cold because he did not want to take the money in case something happened.
I have never seen security like it, every one was scanned at every turn, but nobody seemed to mind.

If there's no difference in the coin, is there a difference in the packaging?

Me not sly and I am sorry you didn't get to the RAM stand for the coins interest.

I think that this episode might need to be told to the RAM that they advertised it but didn't give full details of how and where to get in.

I think the RAM may have lost a lot of local collectors as a result.
