Topher Pillar of the Community Canada 965 Posts	Posted 04/10/2007 2:39 pm Brings back fond memories of my 4 years in Oz. We only managed to make it to Canberra once (I was a poor student/father/husband at the time). I seem to remember the Euro display when we were there and that would have been before the 2000 Olympics. (Can't exactly remember when though.) One of these days, I'll break out my Aussie coins and see what I'm missing. Mostly new issues, though. Report this Post to the Staff

It's great that you have a mint that is so open about its processes and actually allows you to mint your own coins! That is so cool it makes me want to visit just for that. 2.) It's great of you to take the time to share it with us. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
