If you believe that Neale, are you selling your collection now whilst it still has some value?

Quote from: 'nealeffendi' pid='128994' dateline='1705643217'It doesn't matter if Charles lives another 200 years as they will stop striking coins in the next decade. Everything will be digital with no coins or notes. Coins will join phone books, telephone cards and telegrams as nostalgia.

nealeffendi I think you might be right, unfortunately. I took my lady to the pictures and had to use my card to buy the tickets and two days ago we went to the zoo and the same thing, card only. Couldn't even buy a bloody fridge magnet without using my card. I always thought that cash was king but now it's getting to be useless. Not happy Jan! :dash1:

That is not only sad, that is worrisome :shock:

Really the government should crack down on businesses refusing cash. It harms the perceived value of our money.
I refuse to deal with businesses that don't accept cash. We all should.

And honestly, why is the Aussie Dollar worth only 66 US cents when they are a bankrupt country?  (I know our DEBT has something to do with it but theirs is much worse.)

Until my wife told me that the UNC set ballot was on I hadn't seen anything from the RAM at all (used to get emails but that must be passe now). I'm obviously looking in all the wrong places  :dontknow: .

Just got $50 charged to my credit card by RAMint.
So I was successful with the ballot ... however with Ami rage of 100,000, you'd certainly think there is enough to go around
There\'s no such thing as too much Borobi!

You have to wonder about some gullible people.  Over the last few days Ebay sellers have been putting the 2024 UNC set up for sale with some fools paying up to $170 to purchase when as was noted, the mintage is 100,000 - plenty to go around at the $40 plus postage.   

Note to Jen- you started this thread and mentioned that the mint had said we had seen the last of the Queen portrait - guess what?  We now have a 2024   5,10,20,50 and $1   set of coins with the Queens portrait, 2 years after she passed - things move slowly in Oz land that's  for sure!    

At least the new ballot system means I don't have to sit by the phone or keyboard for hours on end!
Cheers

I didn't even bother with the ballot because they limit you to one. I'll just ring the call centre in a few weeks and order two like I do every year along with one proof set. At least then I won't be overpaying on postage.
I'm also amazed at the idiots on eBag paying more than $60 for a $20 roll of Charles dollars.

I wonder if there will be a 2024 Charles III set later then.

Yes there will be.

I managed to get one of each of the "premium" one and two dollar rolls in the ballot, but not surprising since they are rolling 25,000 rolls for sale rather than 5,000 like previously.
Anyone buying their non premium rolls needs a sanity check.
