New $1 A-Z coins

[Samhill]

I was shown some pics of the new $1 coin set from RAM.Due out this year

26 yes 26 $1 25mm coloured coins with each letter of the alphabet.
Each one in a card like the bugs series but I believe will be released all at once.
Each coin has a different background with a large capitol letter in the foreground.

Was also informed that the baby sets will be supplied without the normal $1 coin and a alphabet dollar of your choice will have to be ordered from the mint or dealer to place in the set,included in the price of the set.( I think this is for the proof baby set) as the coin will be in a capsule.

Don't have any more details or prices.

Yup. Each letter is an animal. L Lyrebird, etc. There's a currency determination covering the second half of the alphabet. Can't find the first half.

WTF......

goovy
so,you could buy your name in coins and ...... pop them in a folder that you never look at

I'll be buying an A for Ariana - my grandie
and a G for Grr-nannie which is what she calls me

WTF......

so what you really mean is
W for wombat
T for tree or ty-ran-a-saw-yus - or Tick - or Tinkerbell
and F for fly (not bat)

ha ha

Nice pic.

I hope they are not up around $15 a coin.It's still going to be a real expensive complete set to get.$300+

I would expect some of the coins to be a lower mintage like U,X etc which could be hard to get in the future like some of the commonwealth games coins.

Maybe you have to guess how many things are on the coin beginning with F.
Let's see, Flying Fox, or could it be Fruit Bat, then Fly, Fruit, Footprint...
Anyone see any others?

Trout's going to love this set.

Cant see them being less then $15.00 x 26 = $390.00 plus delivery
Probably have some sort of deal where you pay up front & they will send coins when they press them.

I have known about this stuff for ages but had no idea why the RAM went with, it now it makes sense, so if they are going into baby sets, I guess they wont be needing the dot and kangaroo design $1 {they keep that design for 3 years then change it} so you will be seeing the a-z coins for 3 years then, they also intend to do silvers for these too, wonder if they will be the ones for proof sets, and the ali-brz will be the individual purchase ones, or a bit of both. glad I wont be getting a complete set of these it would hurt the budget a lot, of course I would look at the k one, but if I don't like the product in hand, im going to walk away, interesting concept from the mint, I wonder if it will be a hit or miss, only time will tell.

Didn't you know Umberto and Xeraphina are becoming way more popular. You could even call your child Umbrella or Xylol.

Unbloodybelievable  :dash1::dash1::dash1:
This is just plain ridicules , RAM seems to be pumping more crap out than the Perth Mint:dodgy:
I wonder if RAM has been bought out by the Franklin mint, Its starting to look that way.

That's it for Me, I'm throwing the towel in on Dollar coins MY set ends as of now.

My God! You can go bankrupt collecting $1 coins.......
