Looks like the delivery of these coins along with the $10 Baggies of the Anzac $1 will be delayed until June, That will throw a spanner into the workings of the "Drop" Sellers on eBay :angel::laugh2:

About time you visited again
All towns have great points of interest

Don't wait for the lightvrail/bullet train - would be fabulous but Australia is retarded in the train progress stakes
I think the existing small train takes about 4 hours

This was the latest: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/andrew-leigh-urges-nsw-government-to-support-canberra-to-sydney-highspeed-train-20170410-gvi8nr.html

2.5 hours makes Camberra doable as a day trip. Currently the fastest is via buses.

Yes, it's on the list! (and what a list) :laugh2:

Might time a visit to align with the Summernats which I've been to a number of times.

Oh, and of course there's always the Casino!!! (Oops, might have to give that a miss in the current economic situation). I always loved playing the Carribean Stud Poker there. Four Kings was my best from memory.

Afternote: Perhaps I should have linked a Kenny Rogers song there.

That is rather rude. My credit card was debited on 24th April and now they are not delivering until (at least) early June. So they will have my money for six weeks for something not actually yet available. I wonder how much they are sitting on for all outstanding orders?

I have contacted them before about pulling this stunt (not the first time) but never had a reply. This time I have cancelled my order as a matter of principle.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

I ordered the $10 baggies on the 23rd and just got an email saying they have been dispatched.

The only problem with cancelling your order is that you might miss out completely. I'd rather put up with their nonsense than pay inflated prices to some dealer who puts a massive mark-up on them.

Don't waste time with the current train service. The buses are much more frequent, and they can do the trip in 3 hours instead of 4. :ok:

Well it looks like their own info might be wrong.
I just got an email from the RAM saying my $2 baggies
have been despatched. :)

I just looked at your gallery and noticed that you were missing the 2016 ANZAC dollar. Have these not made their way to Perth yet?

Your 1972 5c also looks quite sad. I know they've been in circulation for 45 years, but most of the ones I find still look much better than that.

Not that I have seen so far. In fact I think the 2015 was a gift too. Haven't found
one in circulation. :(
When the 2017 ANZACs arrive, I was going to see if anyone wants to swap one.

As for the 1972 5c, I have never found one of those either. That was also a gift to me.

Last week, made 25 orders ($40 each) for these coins and only 1 has been posted. Guess i may have to wait another month! I wonder how much interest they are making off our money

Nice work. But why didn't you also get the ANZAC $1?

Nothing from my order as yet. Fingers crossed that they are delayed so they send me a gift as an apology.

Oh crap, forgot about it. Would of made the postage feel better

Me to! I am keen to get a gift with each order, I got this last year:

I reckon they should send us the entire set for free. That would make up for the one-month delay. :D
