Love it! :laugh2:

Wow they now have these on the mint website for 80 bucks plus postage,  they must not be selling well.

WOW.

Some of the RAMint decisions these days are really confusing me.

What I like about the U.S. Mint, is that they have an upcoming product schedule. So you know months in advance, what releases are coming down the pipeline.
The Australian Mint is like "oh, by the way ... we released some coins last week. Cheers.".

That's ridiculous. You can get it for $39 + $12 paper subscription.

Hmmm
For something that was supposed to be exclusively available via a newspaper subscription to be now being sold on the RAM shop and at an inflated price is pretty "Wrong" don't you think?

Absolutely :dodgy:

Seems to me RAM staff have absolutely no idea what 'exclusive' means. :dash1:

Really makes no difference to me as I don't buy these NCLT products irrespective of where they are available.

I reckon the Macquarie Dictionary will redefine it in a few years to include RAM's definition. Then, we'll have to find a new word to replace the word "exclusive". :dodgy:

May be it wasn't an exclusive deal?

And technically "exclusive" may mean the only way to get those coins during the two weeks was with the purchase of the newspapers. Movies advertisements carry "Only in Theatres" but we all know it will be on DVD, streaming, broadcast TV eventually.

News Ltd must be aware of this when they sign the agreement.

I am pretty sure that they know the meaning of "Exclusive" But I think they are really struggling with  "Integrity" :angel:

These Anzac coins are reminding me so much of the Queens Birthday 3 coin set.

That's exactly what I was thinking.:dodgy:
Seeing's as they managed to BS and Lie  their way out of the HM birthday coins  fiasco maybe RAM thinks that it is now Acceptable to do this sort of thing.?

Well said Jim.

I don't think Newscorp would be worried. their promotion had finished prior. Surely the timing of the ram release is a coincidence!

Indeed and also reminds me of the Holden Collection :idea:

They must know already when they had the agreement with RAM.
