The Changeover Tour

The Changeover Tour is in Adelaide today. We hopped on a bus with the famed guide dog Charlie and travelled into the city for it and the ANZAC Day commemorations.

It's interesting that they're still exchanging the 2015 Coloured $2 coins. :yahoo:

When they were in Melbourne there was a limit of 1 bag per person for the red $2 coin bags.

For the changeover coins we used a suitcase with wheels so I didn't have to carry all the weight of the coins. Came in handy as we walked the streets of Melbourne.

Yes they had the 1 bag limit today for the red one's. No limit on the others though, I spent all my cash.

Yeah you need cash for the changeover bags. Kim found out that when she was in Canberra for the open day in February and only had her credit card.
She had to find an ATM to get cash to swap over the coins.
A lot of people don't carry cash and only use their cards.

Thanks - so the main draw is this year's commemoratives? Have they had the plain stuff at any previous ones?

I'm sure they would do well. :yahoo:

It's very interesting they don't have a stall in Brisbane itself, or am I missing something?

The Brisbane Coin Show later this month would have been a logical time for the RAM to pop up so to speak, but it's great to see them doing the regional areas.

I wonder if they are going to make it to WA as Geraldton is one of the Major regional towns in this State and maybe it will get a "Guernsey" :angel:

Hopefully a good chance they will. Fingers crossed

I have a feeling I know you

One thing I wonder about. Do you good people always wait for an official event to visit, or there could be some sort of "social gathering" somewhere in the park, to just chat about stuff, brag the 'recent catch' and possibly exchange things?
