The Mint is joining in on Canberra's birthday celebrations and giving all Canberrans the chance to swap one of their 20 cent coins for a
brand new one featuring the Centenary of Canberra design.

i'm hoping to mosey on down
i'll see if the parking etc is a hassle
there are big events on that day .. so i'm thinking about it ha ha

a friend did grab me one from the other swap day (i was in melbourne)
it's a nice coin and I'm wondering if it's closer to a specimen strike than a regular business strike
it is quite lusterous

I am a little dissapointed that this swap was not on offer in Perth at the last ANDA show, the RAM was there why not offer the swap or is it just for the eastern states collectors :dash1:

My Brother lives in Canberra. He is busy himself but trying to arrange something. Here's hoping.

Hi guys,

The coins aren't exactly released just for eastern state collectors
They are being released locally for the Canberra Centenary - so they are just setting up at local events as a part of the celebrations

The girl at the RAM staff today said that the coin is being released into circulation around mid-march, so I reckon the RAM will definately sell the rolls through the mint shop

The coins that we got today were hand picked with bare hands, after being tossed into a cardboard tray - over half the coins are totally chipped and scratched to my disspaointment. Maybe a roll will produce better quality?

Today they only allowed $5 change for $5 coins
whereas the other day, the stall was quieter and the ebayers were in there buying $20 note lots at a time! So I am told, and the ebay listings also might tell that same story.
Today the que was VERY SLOW long and the sun was blistering - no shade to stand in so it was a bit of a drag, people even left the que cause it took so long!

here's some pics from the PP blogg -
