I'm still waiting to see whether the mint does any of the little baggies, so I can buy them all at face value (+ postage). I also bought a few of the mintmarked ones, because I couldn't wait any longer for them, and I thought it would be nice to have some of the cards explaining the design.

At the RAM, the bags of 5 are $15 + Post. Oops, Sorry folks, a bum steer!

And you can buy up to 3 bags of 5 coins. So $40 for 3 bags including $10 post.

Try Lest We Forget - Sachet

Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

Downies is now out of mint rolls.

RAM making these Mint rolls exclusively for dealers is one of my Pet hates.
If it is a circulation coin it should be made available in all forms including rolls to ALL Australians, Not just to a select few dealers.

Just been to Wynyard Coins at lunch. They have the rolls for $99.95.

Anyone seen this book? How big and how many pages is it? Worth getting? I get one because of postage if it's good.

According to Ten Eyewitness News, they'll be releasing 4 million of these coloured $2 coins into circulation, so I'm glad they've learnt from previous releases and are trying to meet demand. :)

Since they've been releasing these coloured coins (2012 on?), I can count on one hand how many I've found. (except for the Olympic ones)

I don't shop much with cash, but I wonder how many of these actually make it to the shopkeepers tills ?

The secondary market on these really disappoints me, because the coins are released to remember the sacrifice of the soldiers over 100 years ago, but people just hoard them to make profit.
