"Bright Ideas" Seven Coin Set - Release 8 October

Sally, I think the coloured coin is the $1 Black Box coin.
Seems to be a few $1 coins with a 'Light Bulb' privy mark.

Thanks Jens for the link to the info about those coins. The designs sound like they might actually be interesting so it's a shame they aren't meant for circulation (if I understand it correctly? ).

I hope the RAM get the "black box" printed in bright orange (the actual colour of those boxes) rather than black. I wonder how they will print the colour on the coins though? The circular colours on the $2 coins are straightforward but printing a rectangle might pose some difficulty? Anyway we will see soon enough.

Some of the dealers advertising on ebay already are offering a colored $2 coin. I didn't see any mention of that on the "Currency Determination" - does anyone know if there is there one?

Also confused about the 7 coin sets offered for sale. There are 5 x $1 coins and one $2 coin; what is the 7th coin? I guess that we will find out on the 8th.

I will look for the circulated coin - the other 'tokens' are not worth the exorbitant prices the dealers are asking anyway. Happy hunting..

A special $2 coin, showcasing all five inventions on one coin is available from today.

Those coins are really nice designs and it is a shame they weren't released for circulation. Seems odd that notable Australian inventions like these ones aren't commemorated on circulating coins but silly cartoon characters like Bluey are. What are the RAM thinking?

The $2 coin is a nice design even though it shows all inventions on a small area. I have managed to get a few for my collection. Not going to bother with the non-circulating coins. As usual asking price is too high.
