The RM produced an A-Z coin hunt in 2018 so I believe it pre-dates the RAM A-Z coin hunt. https://www.royalmint.com/coinhunt/ And boy, are those suckers hard to find, especially in Oz. I have one of each of the RM 2018 release. What disappointed me is when they released exactly the same coins in 2019. Still working on getting those. :( Steve :) Report this Post to the Staff

So, the RAM mixed the Donation Dollar into rolls/bags of regular MOR Dollar coins. Well, I bet there will be people who go to their bank soon and ask for $1 rolls/bags, will search for the Donation Dollar in them, and then offer them on ebay ... but hopefully it will only be short-lived as people realise that they can easily obtain them at face value in their change.

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 09/02/2020 6:34 pm I think there will be strong demand from overseas so who knows what collectors do. The current $2 coins are good example - in total I think about 10 million+ were minted yet they appear quite rarely. My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.

ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 09/02/2020 11:15 pm David find a swap/penpal who is willing going to swap with you. international mail is expensive however if you know how to package you can sneak though with letter mailing. :D Report this Post to the Staff
ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 09/02/2020 11:29 pm Well I don't think they will bother with mixing it with circulation, and I also don't really think that grading by Ebayers is any different to coin grading when people say UNC coins from mint rolls, it up to collector to judge if they are happy with the coin. Makes me wonder what will happen to this coins grading, this going to be frenzy at 4m thats for sure (cause I know personally I will be hunting these down and I doubt none of the member here willn't be on the look out for these) Edited by ryurazu 09/02/2020 11:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 09/03/2020 02:59 am @ryurazu Yeah, I'm on the lookout for a swap/keyboard pal. I am in the process of buying a second complete set of the aussie coin hunt so may be able to do a coin hunt swap. Have also been collecting coloured coins in the hope that they'll come in handy for swapping with UK collectors. Report this Post to the Staff

Have the school tuckshop and cafe keeping an eye out. A bit like the golden Willy Wonka ticket waiting to see when they appear and in which state. Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 09/04/2020 04:20 am Nice idea, though I'll be hanging on to any that I find. Report this Post to the Staff
coaster Pillar of the Community Australia 1364 Posts	Posted 09/04/2020 07:28 am Q: Is there a chance of these coins being found in a Mint roll or sachet of $1 coins? A: No, the only way to obtain these coins is in general circulation and by checking your change. https://donationdollar.com.au/pdf/D...ust-2020.pdf (page 3) So how did this person manage to obtain an unopened bag of 20 uncirculated coins? It's already passed the $200 mark at auction with two days still remaining. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2020-1-...cectupt=true ... or if you can't wait you can 'Buy It Now' for $500 and it seems as though there are a few available! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2020-Gr...cectupt=true Edited by coaster 09/04/2020 07:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Bidding as now passed the $300 mark with 22 hours still to run ... someone is soon going to be the proud owner of something that will be worth $20 in the very near future! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2020-1-...ue#itemTitle Report this Post to the Staff
