50 cent AIATSIS coin

[Australian coin]

hahaha the mint are funny

[Goldseeker]

OK forum members to assist members who can't get these circulating coins, how about offering those that one finds in change etc to those that can't secure any at face value.

I for one will be saving all the coloured $2 coins for those that need them as well as anything else.

Just so that we know what to hold and pass on, please make a list within this thread.

It looks like it was the place to be.

Oh no, I shouldn't laugh.

Oh no, I shouldn't laugh.

Why NOT.
I did  Poor buggers . Looks freezing cold and nobody is in the least bit interested.

I'm not sure if I want to give away coins any more.

I feel your pain Mate as giving is a part of the pleasure in this hobby and personally I enjoy the opportunity to do so.
I AM saddened that you copped a "slap in the face" after gifting a coin and I empathize with you but don't let a minority spoil your enjoyment of sharing , 99.99% of collectors are Bloody Good eggs Don't let that .001% Ruin your pleasure Mate :ok:

if the mint had of done another swap day they would have pulled in lots of people
sometimes I just can't figure out there tactics

ps I am now pleased that I went to st vinnies (yes they are open on sundays) & picked up some 'vintage' aussie made Tupperware for the daughter - she is collecting it now
I would have been very disappointed with that stand

Oh no, I shouldn't laugh.

Which one do you reckon is security?

I think it'll be highly unlikely if most of us ever see these 50 cent AIATSIS coins in circulation.

I've managed to get just 1 x 2014 ANZAC $1 from circulation so far and it's totally wrecked.  2013 Purple Coronation $2, I have found 0 of those, thought I had a couple but can't find them, probably bought them and have stashed them.  

So IMO, whenever a truly 'limited' number is minted,  it appears that the Security Companies are the only ones making a profit on the new coins.  

I can't understand why the Mint (Government) has given up their right to be the ones making the profit from the distribution of new coins, it simply does not make any sense to me.

There is absolutely No doubt in my mind whatsoever Armagard is leaking security rolls to certain people to resell online
:dodgy:

+1 here!

You have to wonder. I used to regularly get bulk Armaguard bags of uncirculated coins from the local bank -sometimes they were a few year old but that doesn't matter. It is nearly two years now since any deliveries here have been new coins.

Another one for PNC

[Cougar]

Has anyone seen any of the circulating coins anywhere yet?

[Australian coin]

not in circulation yet

Thankyou for the update, I was under the impression that they were released from last week? I probably read the report incorrectly. Any idea on when it may occur?
