Oh another Chris, welcome mate. Depending on what your after there's all ways the purple penny  http://www.thepurplepenny.com/australian-decimal-coins-uncertified,110,3.html
or ebay but be careful as some people re-roll rolls and the mint doesn't really do rolls any more so they're getting hard to find. A few of the auction sites also get them from time to time so also worth a look, good luck in your search.

ANZ have the green Prosegur (formerly Chubb) rolls. So do **SOME** Bendigo Banks.

Other bank branches with coin dispensing machines have Armaguard rolls.

Generally speaking, Armaguard don't roll new coin. Except, apparently, in Brisbane. Prosegur do roll everything, including UNC coins, but seldom get any.

Occasionally, the RAM does rolls, and sells them through dealers at a premium. Such as 2014 $1 for example.

I don't know why the RAM don't do them any more seams to me that there is a market out there for them.

[JeffH]

There is a market for them. Unlike the RAM to ignore a sales opportunity.

What was the last RAM roll wrapped in official paper?

[ausjack]

Yes you've got that right Jeff and bloody good question runway and the last I can think of are the 2011 International Women's Day and Kate and Will royal wedding but I could be wrong

[Mister T]

Yeah I recall the 2011 International Women's Day 20c rolls too - not sure if there were any after that.

I've got some 2005 mob of roo $1 rolls if you're interested. 2005 mob of roos are one of the lowest mintages for circulating $1 coins and were not available in mint sets so it's the only way to get these UNC.

wrong topic to post sales

I think the last Mint wrappers were for CHOGM $1.

Some Banks order rolls for certain customers and it really is pot luck if you end up with UNC coins.

My local ALDI stores get AG rolls here in Melbourne.

You really have to knock on the Banks' doors and ask.

Pot luck!

I dont know anything about these so just interested to know if the RAM rolled coins have anything printed on the paper to say they are RAM rolled?  

We are lucky in NZ at the moment as all coins being produced by the Royal Canadian Mint (10c-50c) get delivered prerolled to NZ with the rolls stating RESERVE BANK OF NEW ZEALAND (THEN DENOMINATION).  Our $1 & $2 coins come in bags but I put aside what I can afford of the security company rolls again working at the bank helps lol.  The reserve bank rolls will be cataloged next year in the price guide so trying to work out where they should be priced at the moment.

RAM Mint Rolls are identified as such by the writing on the wrappers.  If a roll does not have Royal Australian Mint on the wrapper, it's NOT a RAM roll. here are a few Ebay examples for you:

Sorry to contradict Nevol, but a good example is the 2014 MOR rolled by the RAMINT which has no identifying marks confirming RAMINT is the roller.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/252042810013

Some dealers have claimed that the rolls were limited to 5000, however RAMINT statements to me contradict that claim; and after discussing the
5000 roll issue with RAMINT some dealers withdrew that claim from their websites.

Similar wrappings for $2 Mint releases.

I suspect (now) that if a roll does not clearly state the name of a security company it may be a RAMINT issue.
But I do have security company wrappers from 2010 $1 that are "No Name" and not RAMINT issued. (rollspack.com.au).

I suspect that RAMINT has simply purchased wrappers from Rollspack as they are in a similar format.

I have spoken to the RAMINT (MN) re these issues and she has confirmed on a number of occassions that RAMINT roll "INHOUSE"

And I recall that the reason they stopped rolling inhouse previously was for quality control issues where the coins (front - first - and rear - last) coins  in rolls were being scratched / damaged by the rolling proceess as the "coins were gripped / secured".

Perhaps someone here knows more?

Sorry to contradict Nevol,

I stand corrected.  Thanks Sulla.
