First coins for 2017

[interest]

On Christmas Day the first keen collector began lining up at the doors of the Mint to strike the first coin worldwide in 2017. Doors will open at 10 am on 1 January 2017, be sure to get in early to be one of the following 99 people to be part of these popular New Year traditions!
Gee that's dedication, hope it's that same family who have been first for the last few years.

I seem to remember reading that the younger siblings had rebelled after last year and wanted to do something else at New Year. Guess time will tell.

To be fair the RAM should be drawing the name of a lucky entrant who are present in the first 100 people lining up on 1 January

Congratulations to Luke Marshall who has now struck the first coin worldwide in 2017! The latest annual theme has also been unveiled on our Visitor Press, commemorating a Centenary of the Trans-Australian Railway. Quoted from the RAM PAGE

Why is that name familiar to me?

I agree 100%

Why? That's substituting dedication with luck? I am missing the logic.
