7 coin set (includes a little cardboard/plastic holder book) = $150.
7 coins in individual holders is 7 x $17.50 = $122.50

Now I am an absolute sucker for granny bait coins. I buy so much unnecessary, over priced crap from the Mint.

But even this seems like they are going a bit too far.

Am I missing something?

Edit: I am presuming this, but it looks like they got the product numbers incorrect between the two, so the folders might be limited to 500 units.
So if you want that folder ... it's $27.50 and limited numbers. Maybe. I'm taking a guess on that.
There\'s no such thing as too much Borobi!

The 7 coin Train set has a total mintage of 35,500
7 coin set in folder
Product Issue: 34,500
Price: $150.00

7 individual Loose uncirculated coins
Product Issue: 500
Price: $17.50

Individual coins in card are not available through the Ballot or Contact Centre.
These products can only be purchased via the Mint Shop at the Royal Australian Mint in Deakin.

That leaves 500 coins still to be issued and will probably be in a limited PNC through Australia Post Impressions?

I bought the last trains set. I don't think I'll bother with this one.
(That is bound to make them highly profitable.)

I'm thinking along the same lines (so to speak)

As long as people keep buying they will keep producing.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.
