This would just be the circulating packs from the previous rats and rascals showbags wouldn't it?

This line has me wondering though ... "Australia's newest circulating coin arrives on Monday 23 July."

I can make it in to the city that day, but it is more than a two hour return trip (and I am heading in for a meeting on Tuesday, so the timing is a little annoying)

It is a new circulating coin to be released on July 23rd.

Thanks for the heads up. :good:

So this as well as the current 2018 bags?
Too bad it's in limited locations.
Another $2 coin I assume?

Considering the latest coin determination there are three prime suspects -- in my opinion:

---$1 coin for the 50th anniversary of the first landing on the Moon
---$2 coin INVICTUS Games in Sydney
---$2 30th anniversary of the $2 coin

Take your pick...

Invictus games certain

If anyone of the forum is reading this and can get to either of the shows indicated above, I wouldn't say NO to the new circulating coin, whatever it may be. (One satchel would be sufficient).

If you can assist, please advise me of your assistance and also the cost for the coins and postage to Victoria.

Thanks in advance.

Hopefully the new circulating coin will be available from the RAM shop online later...

The RAM do not send the coins out in the satchel anymore due to the GST rules on items.

That is correct I thought everyone on this forum knew that :swoon:

Yes, but hopefully they'll at least list them somewhere so we can see what they are.

I would also be interested in some of these coins too. At this stage not sure if they are having a coin release in Perth.
One bag would be nice, but even a few loose ones would be good.

Thank you in advance also.

Browsing through the RAM web-site I found a page (forgot to bookmark) where they mentioned the coin show will come to Western Australia in November 2018...
