Can't wait.

I bet some people will have them up for sale on Ebay before the release date.

If I sight any ads on Ebay I shall be reporting it to the RAM>

Will be interesting to see which Queen effigy they use on these Mr Squiggle Coins.

If they use the Jody Clark 6th Effigy it will be the first $2 coin to use it.

Some interesting Trivia for you guys champing at the bit to get these coins haha

Five things you didn't know about Mr Squiggle - Compiled by Dhana Quinn. The Age, 17th May 2001

1.Mr Squiggle lived at 93 Crater Cresent and travelled to Earth in his rocket or by going for a "moon-walk".
2.Mikey Robins, of Good News Week and Triple J fame, played one of the characters, Reg Linchpin, for a year from 1989 to '90. Other characters on the show included Spud the gardener, Bill Steamshovel, Gus the Snail, and grumpy Blackboard with only one good eye, who was with the show from the start.
3.A truly family affair, Mr Squiggle was created by cartoonist and puppeteer Norman Hetherington, whose wife, Margaret, wrote each episode and whose daughter, Rebecca, became the sixth presenter. In keeping with the times, she was just called Rebecca and not Miss Rebecca, unlike Mr Squiggle's former assistants, including Miss Pat and Miss Jane.
4.After it aired in 1959, originally as a six-week filler for the ABC, the length of the show varied from five minutes to an hour and a half. It is Australia's longest running television program and is believed to be one of the longest running children's television shows in the world.
5.Using his pencil nose, Mr Squiggle turned more than 10,000 viewer-supplied scribbles into pictures, most of them drawn upside down! One of his favourite sayings was "Everything's upside down these days".

I think it is an internal Woolworths memo. Someone posted it on Facebook I just copied it.

Has anything used it yet?

Anyway, I'll have to find a Woolworths next Wednesday I suppose.

I would assume it's the old effigy. I don't think they'll start using the new effigy on circulating coins until 2020.

It looks like the old effigy.

The photo on gumtree looks crappy

"Crikey ... Someone is already selling them on Gumtree!! "

That person selling the folders on gumtree has already sold 2 different lots of 20 @ $45.00 per set.
They also had them on ebay a couple of days ago but ebay removed their listing.

There is 2 different people selling on gumtree
I has the folders from Broadbeach QLD  @ $45.00 each
1 has the bag of 25 coins from Fletcher NSW @ $250.00

I thought it was due in April this year.
