more 2013 coloured $2 coins

Mister T · August 09, 2015, 05:25:35 PM

Looks like the mint is doing a swap of sorts: http://www.ramint.gov.au/media/noticeboard/2015/20150724.cfm
Doesn't say whether they're producing more or have just been sitting on them for a while though.

That's great that people in the bush can't do it with out going to bloody canberra as I noticed it said not available to the online shop, bastards but just bloody typical of the mint

This offer is only valid for customers who shop with the Mint's Contact Centre and/or Shop, the online store is not included.

When I rang about this a couple of weeks ago the deal was;

spend $20 and swap 2 for 2
spend $21 to $99 and swap for 10
spend over $100 and swap for 20

these figures are from memory and may be slightly out but you get the idea.

Oh I forgot to add that the day I spoke with them, the shop had about 400 coins to swap and the phone order section had a couple thousand and from what the person was saying, they were moving quite quickly too.

WTF are you on about Aj?

anyways they are out

The original mintage was to have been 2 million. Only 995,000 have been reported. I wouldn't be surprised if they did make the 2 million, and just sat on them for things like this.

If that's the case, there will be more bites at the cherry. Perhaps a set of coloured coins, perhaps more swaps, perhaps... *shrug*

Regardless, you can't trust the bastards any further than you could throw them.

Looking through the eShop, I'm hard pressed to find anything I want to blow $100 on.. Maybe a 2015 Proof set? :/

PM me if you would like the Ramint CEO's Ross McD direct number!~

This really sucks.

They are taking the example of the Perth Mint who in 2012 or similar re-issued silver coins going back to the ealy 90'
because they never minted the number they werre allowed to.

Shame! Shame on you RAMINT!

I will be calling Ross McD first thing tomorrow morning!

Like vultures circling a corpse!

FMD!!!

Really sick RAMINT!!

why did they put this on the bottom of their page "This offer is only valid for customers who shop with the Mint's Contact Centre and/or Shop, the online store is not included."
it makes it hard to understand what they mean and I get confused enough as it is

I wonder how much a call to canberra would cost me in the middle of the day :whistle2:

robbiegal · August 09, 2015, 09:12:13 PM

I called the shop
and then they transferred me to the contact centre - I think it is the call-in line - like the on line shop

Sales enquiries

Get yourself an Engin phone (which is what I use to ring you) and it will cost you 10¢ anywhere in Oz for $9.95/mth. Or free for $14.95/mth.

Do it as a referral through me, and we should be able to get you a bonus too.. free month(s), equipment or whatever promotion they might be running at the time.

this thread is redundant they sold out of them early last week

The RAM sales must be taking a bit of a hit to make them come up with this sort of sales gimmick :angel:

good for people to know though Serial
or you waste your time calling them ... as I did!

serial · August 10, 2015, 07:36:51 PM

Yup waste of time. I would have bought a proof set if I had known last week

So what did Ross have to say about this when you rang him SULLA?

SULLA · August 11, 2015, 01:33:35 PM

After calling RAMINT I have been told that that the swap coins were within the original published mintage with coins that were withheld from the original distribution.
I am waiting for email confirmation.
