RAM Australia’s Newest Circulating Coin Swap

[seedyrom]

Bah.
Made the trip in with my family.

Sold out!!

Every man for themselves on this one.


Pretty annoyed actually. Having organised the wife's day of time-in-lieu, and the kids pupil free day, to be sold out of the ONE THING that the event is for, is pretty pathetic.
Many hard early brownie points have been wasted on this.

They will have more between 1:30 to 2:00.

I haven't read any of this thread yet, but I just got my 3 bags, and I'm very happy with them.

[Hercules]

BTW the queue was horrendous, so I got out of there as soon as possible.

[kchan1111]

Queue moves very quickly. They are out of stock so people are just queuing up in anticipation of new stick arriving.

[kchan1111]

Just been told. The stock is coming from Canberra. Queue won't move until 2:00.

[seedyrom]

Yep, in the queue now. An hour to go.
Still with a bored wife and two children, it's going to be a loooiong day

[kchan1111]

Stock has arrived!

[seedyrom]

Gee, that line does move fast once going.

I did one repeat run.

Saw others on their third trip through the queue when I was leaving.

I guess there will be a number of people with large hauls.

I'm crazy, but I know I'll still end up buying a mint roll later in the year

[kchan1111]

Good to hear you got some seedyrom.  

Those new stock there will go pretty quickly.

Key is to organise it as a family outing. So you can each get some. Have to weigh up the risk of expensive divorce though.

Mintage is expected to be 2.300.000 (see: https://www.ramint.gov.au/publications/australias-2-coin-gets-invictus-games-sydney-2018-makeover ). So eventually, everyone should have his haul.

[runway]

I heard a certain Facebook seller bought huge amounts of $2 Invictus Sachets at the Sydney Martin Place pop up very early and they sold out but restocked after lunch when the lineup was huge. Lots of unhappy people in the early lineup seeing 1 specific greedy person getting most for resale then none for the collectors

You should see us in the morning at 7:30...

The queue was only 10-20 or so people. We went around and around and around in a loop. Each time we handed $30 over and RAM staff put three more coin satchels into our little RAM carry bag. I reckon some people were doing it 20 times, sprinting back to the back of the line as soon as they got the bags.

Lots of people were staring at us wondering what on earth we were doing.

[Mister T]

I waited about 45 minutes in Brisbane. They didn't have the large-size coin though.

[kchan1111]

In Sydney there is only the Invictus coin. That's why the line moves so quickly. The staff doesn't have to receive the order, and fetch it and total it all up. It's either 1, 2 or 3 bags.
