Sadly No. :cray:

No bull I'm only just getting the 2014 so ages before I get 2015's

No 2015 dated coins found yet but at least we know they exist because the RAM exchanged coins for 2015 coins recenty

[mkonst]

My next question along these lines is, how do we known or how can we find out the planned mintage figures for 2015 crom the RAM?

[Pedro]

On some occasions the RAM will advise mintages in advance for some of the lower mintage coins eg the AIATSIS 50c, the coloured $2 remembrance issues.

Otherwise we have to generally wait until the RAM annual report is released around late October each year (for the year ended 30 June each year). However, the RAM mints a year's coins across financial years so that determining say, the 2015 mintages, you need to also take into account the production numbers from the 2016 RAM annual report.

A coin that is apparently rare based on the 2015 report may not be so once the following financial year's production of 2015 coins is added in.

All in all it takes a while!

Thanks Pedro,
I've scanned through the RAM press releases for 2014 and also last years (2013/2014) annual report, but still couldn't find any advise on the lower mintage of the AIATSIS or $1 MOR.

How exactly is the RAM sharing this info?

mkonst - mintages may be flagged via RAM media release when they announce special new coins eg the 2012 Remembrance $2 etc. If I remember correctly the mintage of the 2014 $1 MORs was foreshadowed at a function that the RAM held for dealers and the word spread from there.

If there is anything that is looking like a low mintage coin there are a number of forumites with very good connections that keep us up to speed with likely mintages.

Thanks again, I did initially find out of the low mintage of the 2014 MOR from my dealer, this was before I got onto this forum.

I'll keep my ears tuned to see what will be worth looking out for from the 2015 set of circulating coins.

I thought the planned mintages were 2,000,000 and 1,000,000 respectively. I can't remember where I saw the AIATSIS mintage but it's mentioned at http://www.australian-threepence.com/coin-news/2014-aiatsis-circulation-50-cent/

So, anyone seen anything yet? Here in South-East Queensland most the 2014 stuff is pretty common now.

[ausjack]
