The RAM are changing one of the gallery presses:

For the first time, we're changing one of our gallery coin presses mid-year to the special ACT bluebell privy mark, available for four weeks only during Floriade About Town.

These may be sleepers. Reminds me of some short-term visitor gallery press offerings in the early to mid 90's, when the dies were loaded for just a very short period. If not for a CAB article by Ian McConnelly in July 2007, would be buried in history.
As we age we lose three things, one is our memory and arrrrr I\'ve forgotten the other two!

Which coins were they? I don't have that CAB handy at the moment.

I could go tomorrow, but of a drive from Sydney.

But is it really worth it for the coin swap?  Most of those 42 coins I don't recognise as being highly desirable.  I'm not exactly a follower of the coloured $2 coins though, so I could be wrong there.

I'll probably drive in to do a few mint your own's though in the coming weeks.  That could be fun.

The coin swap may be available sometime in the future when the RAM decide to do more pop up shops.
The RAM have mainly been doing the counterstamp Map coins and no coin swaps available.
The coin swap is also available for kids only during the school holidays:

I just have the standard one, but how I got it was great, a dealer gave it to me as change at a stall at the Queensland show in August.

Its a nice coin, photo does not do it justice. I read each roo represents a decade of decimal currency, is that true?
