I just checked the 50c coins and don't know if I like the design or not, but definitely different.

Its going to make it tough on the 50 cent collectors, They will have to get all 4 sets just to get the 4 different 50 cent coins :dodgy:

[interest]

I just did a quick check, if I wanted to just keep an up to date set of Uncirculated coins, (NO PROOFS)
I would have to start with
Baby set $45
Uncirculated set $25
Alphabet a-z set $351
2015 Year of the Goat $13.50
2015 50c Uncirculated Tetra-decagon Coin $12.50
Total of $447.00
That's before 2015 even starts.
Then comes the "C" coin on Jan the 1st all the mobile press coins AAAAAAAAAAGH!
Bloody lucky for me that I will not be chasing my tail any more by trying to keep an up to date decimal set.
DISCLAIMER:- if Lizzie falls off the perch next year I will be forced to buy each & every one of these coins so I can then have an official ending 1966 to 2015.

:heart:  Vale Gough
I met him once at my old Uni and have his signature on a piece of paper (cause I forgot to bring my 'The Dismissal' book for him to sign!) He thought I was a bit odd or suss but he eventually decided it was safe to sign the blank paper. I most certainly was in the number 1 fan club. Australia  has never seen a more truly dedicated people's PM since. Although I am a bit fond of old Malcolm as well.
I guess that they (the RAM) will quickly knock up a coin for Gough.

Ironically my daughter's grandmother also died peacefully (although, totally unexpected) today.

[Cougar]

Sorry to hear that RG. Your daughter grandmother was your mother or her fathers mother?

[robbiegal]

her father's
both of my parents have died many years ago
though, she was like a mother to me as well so I'm sad too

Very sorry to hear that RG.

[Unicorn]

Indeed sad, sorry to hear RG.

Your signature story reminds me of when I was in primary school and Bert Oldfield visited (1973 I think). I had to ask the Principal's Secretary for a piece of paper on which he wrote a lovely note wishing me the best at cricket. I did have it in a frame hanging on the wall in my Father's shed but when I was there last it was nowhere to be found. Perhaps it will turn up.

[robbiegal]

sorry Uni but I had to google Bert Oldfield - I am now the wiser
perhaps the note will show up again one day

i'd have to dig a bit to find my old copy of The Dismissal with Gough's signature on what is probably now yellowing papr

[Unicorn]

Yellowing or not it sounds a fabulous piece RG!

[robbiegal]

funnily enough Uni
I found it! And it was ... on the bookshelf as well - miracle
I will put it back
