You had all better believe Sap, he has got it 100% right. They are as equally successful as the Royal Australian Mint in the marketing of NCLT's, but they do not make Australian coins for circulation. Perth Mint also has a very successful bullion coin business. |

I'm with Sap, and I'm sorry to see another commercial, just overwhelmed with them in today's world...

 Hmm... it seems to me in the past I once told a friend (something to the effect of) coins were becoming so commercialized the next thing we would see would be Ninja Turtle quarters! I don't know. Maybe my age is showing. But I miss the days when special coins were made commemorating historic events such as the US bicentennial. Although I admit some of the contemporary designers hit an area I like, I dislike seeing massive amounts of commercialism on coins. What next - a tribute to the invention of the Big Mac or Twinkie? |

There are probably enough people buying them to make minting them profitable.

I don't believe in coloured coins at $115 an OZ
I was talking to a Melbourne dealer about them,he said they haven't minted all of them yet
They wait until they have enough orders,The Germans mints order colored coins & repackage them them self's.

I hope the US mint doesn't get word of this, it might give them ideas... I don't want to have to buy a Dansco album for the new 2022-2036 Autobot Quarter series.  |

I have been excited about these coins ever since I first saw them in 2009. My youngest son (17) has been collecting Transformers since he was little and is now adding some very expensive and valuable ones to his collection of almost 1000. These coins give me a way to combine my hobby and his into one. I plan on getting him all five that are available for Christmas this year. I know he'll absolutely love them and they are still a good investment, even if they are selling for 3x spot price. From what I have seen, there is a big Transformers collector market out there. I am sure that it has proven to be very profitable for the Perth Mint to mint these. As far as whether Transformers are an appropriate coin design, I do not feel that this is any more inappropriate than putting the US First Ladies on gold coins. To be honest, I find the Transformers coins a lot more desirable as collectibles than those. |

some of the stuff they have been putting out here the past few years just renditions me of something that I would expect national collector mint or one of the other private mints to be pushing
