I got one of these in change yesterday..... from the Mint Shop :) and also ordered my bag of $10... There is going to be alot of these coins that dont make it into circulation. There were droves of people at the Mint yesterday filling in order forms for the bag of 5 coins.

Blink and you will miss the purple!

I think you might be right there Craig. I saw some photos of the Govenor General with a 44gal drum of them. There didn't appear to be any purple to be seen .... but then saw the news with her and the drum and on TV you could just make out the purple.

After blowing my mobile cap to try and get through to RAM, I finally received a call back today.

As I don't expect to see any "circulate" in the far north, this was my only option...

Mentioning that opens up some interesting possibilities, particularly as these are mass produced and not subject to the same level of scrutiny as NCLT. The potential for misprints, offsets or alignment varieties...

The bag takes the form of a sealed security type bag with Royal Australian Mint and the logo on it.

Whats everyones take on either leaving the coins in the bag to rub on each other, or to take them out of the bag and put them into holders?

I was lucky enough to get plenty from the bank so will be leaving my bags from the mint intact. If those are the only ones you have then open them up and put them into holders.

I received a very handsome gift in the mail today - image attached.
Actually, I am not a Royalist at heart, but I think this coin / stamp issue just oozes "class"

It shall have a proud place in my "stamp and coin cover" collection.
