HM 90th Birthday

Nevol · April 21, 2016, 07:02:36 AM

I was certain there would be at least one piece of 'Granny Bait' from the RAM to Commemorate this event, but it looks like it is going straight through to the keeper. :angel:

Or has it happened already and I've missed it? :dontknow:

Not sure about the Granny bait. but happy birthday QE11.
The first English monarch to reach this milestone.

I had a look at the UK and Canada's offerings and they appear to be on the ball. Not letting an opportunity go begging.

I just ordered a couple of the 3 coin sets.
The obverse on the 20 coins are unique, Though not sure what they are referring to as a frosted uncirculated finish ?

Would a 90 cent coin be too much to ask?

Probably not if they think it would be a money spinner. The RAM obviously did not have your 'think outside the square' view.
You should make a suggestion to the RAM -if 'Lillibet' is still around in ten years they could issue a "100 cent" (not $1) coin and send royalties to you as the originator of the idea.

Now, I know you can get postage stamps with your face on them for a fee.....I have all sorts of ideas for personalised coins.

Oh well, I have to assume the RAM knows how to make money.

There is a three coin set out from the RAM.

Must order on line and issue will be as required or order.
