Nice looking coins. Already selling on ebay as "pre-orders". I wonder how Woolies feel about that? |

 Does anyone really care about the Commonwealth Games these days? I suspect any increase in traffic to Woolworths will only be from coin collectors. It would be nice to see something like a series of 10c or 20c pieces featuring maybe geological features like Uluru, Apostles etc released as general circulation in numbers that are limited enough to make it a challenge to get them all via noodling but not impossible. How about Australian fauna, or important women in history? |

Maybe the younger generations don't know what happened when Australia Post flooded the market with stamps to fleece collectors? It became too costly to keep collecting everything they pumped out.
Now the Mint are doing the same thing. Any excuse to put another 'coin' out there for collectors (not circulation). If the junk 'coin' didn't have "dollar" on it, would anyone still buy the metal disc with colored paint on it?
Trying to keep a modern collection of every Mint-issued 'coin' is going to be an extremely expensive exercise. Good luck to those who try.

Interesting stamp issues V coin issues. hummmm
Truly do not believe an Australian mint will ever produce coins to rival Auspost's stamps issues released in the greatest hits stamp issues era of the 70's 80's & 90's
Over minting or printing could never be more damaging to collectables than the forgeries produced now in China. Forgeries will be the end of stamps & coins. The perfect forgery is now coming out of China. What do we do? Will the forgeries end collectables as we know it ?

PCGS/NGC are laughing all the way to the Bank with the current climate,punters are being super careful buying anything on ebay not graded. Local dealer told me the Chinese fake Gold/Silver Coins including fake Mint packaging are starting to hit the market so its not just Pre-Dec....sigh. |
