Even more hilarious is Triggersmob sent me these things in a tube with set number 2 and 17 of the first ones. I actually like them and think the designs on the 3rd set look better than the others.

But how many more sets can they make?

Set 17? Wash your mouth out for even suggesting the idea PT. Not funny at all.

DG - it said 17 of the first set, meaning he sent me 17 of the 26 coins from set 1, he kindly fished out of circulation for some needy Kiwi who sent him silver a few months ago.

The ACTUAL 17 here


Australia-Post-Alphabet-Series-3
Sets 2 and 3, not 17 praise the lawd.


Set 17 - wow they would be so bereft of ideas, it would be like
A = Tina ARENA (Anthony Albanese was back on set 12)
B = Bluey
C = Chokka
D = Delta Goodrem
E = Echuca
F = Malcolm FRASER

etc......




I am going to send the Reserve bank of Noo Zillund an email, to make a set of these coins for us - we can all find them in our change from buying FUSH and CHUPS.

There will be A for Australia, where we ripped off to get this idea for making these coins.

And P for Princetane - the mastermind behind this
T for Triggersmob for encouraging me
D for David Graham for lamenting Australia's 17 previous sets of them.

Xero - Local business software company founded by businessman Rod Drury.

However after series 1 it would be rubbish like Xotic, Xceptional, Xceeding Xpectations.

I only did a few letters as frying my brain is hazardous.

Am I the only one that thinks that coloured crux coin looks absolutely hideous?

There's a lot of eX- options, but the one that immediately comes to mind is (Nick) Xenophon. I heard he was a large source of fun in the Parliament back in the day.

I am interested to know everyone's opinion about these A-Z coins.

Do you regard each of the 26 letter coins to be low mintage coins in their own right with mintages around 230K or are they all the same with combined mintage of around 6 million and therefore nothing special?

As each of the 26 coin has a different design I consider them to be 26 low mintage coins.

In this case, to my way of thinking, low mintage per coin doesn't mean all that much in terms of value.
I think that they are over priced.
I will continue to try to find whatever coin I can from pocket change, at face value.
And just be satisfied with single incomplete set

All duplicates I find will be returned to circulation for some other collector.

Not sure ..
Still collect the uncirculated bags or Cotton and Co rolls though.
