5 rubles · April 10, 2015, 06:38:22 PM

Maybe it has been mentioned in this thread by I have missed it, when is the $1 available? I don't care about the rest of the 20c coins but I want that $1 coin if it is different from other poppy coins.

Don't you have to order that? And you can only do that if you are a subscriber to your state's News Corp paper.

Daughter turns up last night, Friday, with ten folders and the coin cards to fit.

All ten sets now put together although the first coin was due to be released today, Saturday with the other 13 being released each day between now and the 24.

I have my ten sts now and all I am waiting for now id my four full sets that will contain the $1 coin.

The tokens are to be used to collect your coin from the newsagency as I believe it.

One swaps the token for a legal tender 20c piece.

Could be a case where the tokens will end up being collectible in their own right and as most will be exchanged there might not be too many available. Might even be varieties if they have different suppliers to the various states.

How did you manage to get your hands on so many?

This is no big deal I'm sure everyone here who wants these knows how to get them

Friend of mine works in Foxtel/News so he bought a set for me plus the $1 coin.

At local news agents only one free coin available, not the two as been advertised. I went to two agents, same answer. Did news corp mess this up?

Triggersmob · April 12, 2015, 10:48:39 AM

Our newspaper, The Sunday Times, in Perth, said one free and one at $3.
I took mine out of the holder and there is no plastic capsule on the other side, the coin is against cardboard. I hope the cardboard is archival safe.

What a jip, it's not a coin and only a bloody token

Just sweet talk you local newsagent.

AC got two sets, I have ten sets but not the $1 coins.
