2016 Australian Olympic Team Coin Program and partnership with Woolworths

[SULLA]

All my local WOW's sold out of the Paralympic card yesterday.

Was there some publicity I missed?

Would never have thunk it!

Interesting observation on the green coin.

At 1900 is shown what I suspect is the Modern Pentathlon which is made up of:

- horse riding
- fencing
- pistol shooting
- swimming, and
- running

However, the green $2 shows rifle shooting and an unclear fencing/pistol event.

Can anyone else comment?

Looks like the $2 Olympic rolls are back.

Found this on another local forum.


"It's just the Olympic coins released in Certified RAM Rolls. It will be limited to 5,000 and if you purchase a set, it will all have the same certificate number. And the Olympic coins will Be the first, and there will be subsequent certified rolls in the future.

Just to be clear, the roll is not physically rolled by RAM. But they do carry official wrapping paper and holograpgic certificate number.

RRP is $900 for 6 roll, or individual roll for $180."

There is plenty of RAM wrapping out there Mate and from what I have read this Mob are having these coins rolled by a company that also rolls the RAM coins to deliver to Banks.
I think that this company is "Moonlighting" rolling these and is it has nothing whatsoever to do with RAM.

Well their ad says "Coins in Mint Rolls issued by the Royal Australian Mint",
so who's telling porkies?  The seller or the RAM?
