Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 09/15/2011 04:22 am Quote: The Treasury are 'happy' with the "Macquarie Mint" $10 offer, and will accept the coin as Australian legal tender, under the Currency Act 1965. Unfortunately, what the Australian Treasury does not know is that the Bank of Nauru has never been given the authority from the Nauruan government to issue coinage in the name of Nauru. The coins are not legal tender in Nauru, and therefore not legal tender anywhere else either. I can forward to you the email I received from the Secretary for Justice and Border Control for the Republic of Nauru confirming this, if you like. Whoever it is that's going around claiming to represent "the Bank of Nauru" and granting authority to issue Nauruan coinage, is lying. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 09/19/2011 05:15 am I read it as 'Someone is telling Downies that they are able to grant Downies permission, when in fact that person does not have authority to grant that permission' Report this Post to the Staff
Concerned Valued Member Australia 65 Posts	Posted 09/19/2011 05:40 am Ah yeah - I see, could be read that way. I got one of these in the mail today. Not addressed to me personally - just to the 'discerning householder'. It was in a tear open envelope like PIN numbers used to come in. Screamed scam to me but people must buy them.
