Maybe it is because since the turn of the centaury the mintages have been a lot higher and RAM have had to produce more coins.

And yet, production and coins in circulation are both falling. Read the Treasury reports.

IMO, they're deliberately diverting resources into much more profitable granny-bait and dropping circulation quality to the minimum possible in order to try and drive people into buying said junk.

I used Mackas latest editions mintage figures as a reference and from 1999 onwards the mintage numbers increase quite a lot , Especially if you take into account the commemorative circulation issues as well :ok:
If I remember correctly a lot was going on with industrial relations Australia wide at this time as well.
This resulted in may businesses streamlining their operations and shedding employees.
Maybe it is this reduction in the workforce that has lead to a reduction in quality along with the extra workload that the larger mintages create ??
I really don't think that RAM has an agenda to create crappy coins in a bid to sell more of the collector items that they produce :ok:
