How do you get the Armaguard wrappers to wrap these coins.
Must be an inside job or friends

That wouldn't be the first time this has happened and I doubt it will be the last.
This new generation of dodgy sellers make the old school shady dealers look like Boy Scouts .

Easy. I have a stash of wrappers, and I've done this before, when I needed rolls rather than bags for my rejects.

I've never shared the HOW, because it would be far too tempting to use the force for evil rather than good. :angel:

Yeah,all you need is the wrappers as there heaps of Coin rolling machines out there.
In the 1970-80's when Dept.stores and Banks were downsizing rolling machines were everywhere for sale in Auctions or dumped at Tips where the fossickers picked them up.
Also it may be 'mint sport' at the Security Co's.

I read all the time on CCF where the US noodlers re roll the coins to return to the bank So it cant be that hard to do.

Its not, and there are three basic ways.

The way the yanks do it is pretty dodgy. They tape the ends.

You can use a machine if you have one.

You can carefully open and reuse rolls.

I rolled my own CoF state coins, after designing my own wrappers. The hardest part of doing it by hand was keeping the little blighters in place while you do the first end. There's probably pics around here someplace too.

Just google how to do it, heaps of options.

I picked up 3 of the new green coins and a blue one today at Woolies.

Well done on the blue one.

I had to visit a couple of Woolies to get the green ones. Getting harder.

Maybe that is due to more of the woollies staff joining in on the fringe benefits of selling the bags on eBay that is creating a shortage in-store :angel:

An issue I raised in an earlier post of mine in this thread, which has not been picked up by any mem ber,  is that these Woolworths Olympic coins are in fact NCLT.
https://www.ramint.gov.au/publications/woolworths-shoppers-win-gold-exclusive-olympic-coin-launch
Perhaps this thread/topic should be moved to the Decimal Coins NCLT section.

[robbiegal]

no they are circulating
woolies are giving them out in change
that's circulating isn't it?

Yes they are most certainly a circulating issue just like the last few coloured $2 coins  were, Funnily enough tho they are very hard to find in your change :angel:

[SULLA]

RG they are not circulating coins.
They have been "sponsored" by Woolworths and The AU Olympics and are not RAMINT issue (alone).

https://www.ramint.gov.au/publications/woolworths-shoppers-win-gold-exclusive-olympic-coin-launch
See the above link on the RAMINT site where they are descibed as UNC.

The Woolworths 2016 Olympic coins are NCLT that have been circulated, which means the coins are truly unique!
