Wow, this purple coin is so my thing, I love it!! And 2 million is a pretty low mintage for circulation, it might be pretty hard to get a hold of one of these.

The C mintmark coin is available in the Mint shop for $12.95. For the circulation no mintmark type we might have to wait.
The mint website appears to be a bit slow today, on my internet connection anyway. Must be all that purple coin chasing activity.

Here's the story from Coin World. Note that it says five packs will be available June 21, presumably in Australia only.-John

5??? Strange. That article is typically news though as it implies a lack of excitement because it's the second coloured coin in circulation. It is though the first, it's all in the wording of availability/press releases.

I wonder where the author got his/her information from. This excerpt makes it appear as though there might be a non-coloured (standard) version, but I doubt that it’s correct.

Good eyes Nancy, I don't think from what I've read that's correct either.

Heh, give it a month or three, and it will be.
