Downies commissioned the coloured Pure Silver $1 in colour in years 2000 2001 2002 and the RAM ordered them to stop.Good work,they did but then again maybe not when I see these extra efforts ?

Official reply from RAM about these coins is:
Dear Simon Thank you for your email. The Royal Australian Mint has not released any coins with the appearance of those that appear in the link you have provided. Any Royal Australian Mint Certificate of Authenticity that is issued with these coins would not be valid. Regards Customer Service Team Royal Australian Mint

I agree cnsjok But I doubt RAM would never take their biggest customer to court,easier for them to ignore the deliberate defacing of a legal tender Australian Coin

They call Koalas "Koala bears" which is wrong,a common wording but incorrect they are not bears
