Why give up on a good money maker if it helps you sell heaps of papers, the mint is so sad now chasing money like murdoch :dodgy:

They probably have more info over the next few days interest.

ADMISLSE

It only happens once every 100 years, so, everyone is trying to making out the most of it

A couple more things that I've thought about over the last few years seem very strange to me, why doesn't murdoch use the perth mint to make his shitty coin and why do the RAM make them so they look like circulating tend except for the 25 cent coins. The RAM should be mad make these coins so you can tell they're not circulating coins and made for a rich turd just wanting to make a few extra bucks by selling his stupid bias papers :dodgy:

True ADMISLSE but they still shouldn't be able to con collectors into thinking they're coins that they "must" have. And it won't be long and we'll have 100 years of ww2 and then korea and nam and then all the celebrations of every other conflict they've put us is so it does look like they're justifying putting us into war all the time and that shouldn't be as war isn't nice or glamorous and should only be the very last resort instead of using it to prop up the economy.

My only issue with these coins is the crazy mad scramble to get hold of each one every morning for two weeks. Sometimes they are all gone by 9 am in the morning.

But the Ebay sharks will mysteriously be able to get their hands on plenty which they will then offer to mugs on Ebay at vastly inflated prices as usual. And the RAM will wash their hands of the whole shebang.

Australian Decimal, UK Decimal, USA & Euro Coins are what I collect.

In fairness, I've previously bought the complete sets on eBay for less than the total cost of the paper + coins.
I am happy to pay a slight premium to someone else and keep the dollars in the people's hands ... not Rupert's.

It's a win, win and win situation.

WA get their coins from this weekend 25th of March.
Why do they get them earlier than the rest of the country?

This is new... https://discoverthestories.com.au/dailytelegraph/missing.html

I wonder how it works? Will they just tell you which newsagent has stock? Or allow you to get one.

The bit i don't like is being told by the news agent he has none left but might sell me some at the end of the promotion... or constantly commenting on how much they sell on ebay for....      better yet when i have to go to ebay to fill the holes... and receive the coin from a seller who is a news agent lol. The news agents are the winners in this thing. They say they have run out of coins.. when they haven't  run out they have just with held them to sell on ebay etc.

Why am I not surprised and look at the prices and in about 3 to 4 weeks you'll get the same coin for a quarter of that price :dodgy:
