After sending an email of to the RAM about wanting to know about future releases of products they were happy to send back a list of products for 2013 YAY.
Mentioning that I was AC from coin community probably helped.
They are doing another promotion similar to the "Collection by Selection" checklist
So a special thanks to Ross and the marking department
It great that the mint is happy to share and work with collectors :)
I was quite excited to receive in the mail, a September catalogue and there new order checklist for 2013 and a wonderful promotion pack of cards.
Quite exciting and fun.
So as I get my scanner ready you can enjoy the fun too.
2013 list is named "Show our Hand"

Nope, they sent products that you buy (NCLT) The $2 design was suggested to be circulation? These are cute playing cards format; all have the Show our Hand printed on one side, then the information on the other side. Most of these items are probably listed on the comlaw page.  |

Nice work AC  Always good when perseverance pays off. Great result  I'm very interested in finding out more about that deck of cards; my other hat I wear is as a collector and researcher of Australian playing cards, and I've not seen these before...  Anything on the box that gives an idea as to where they were printed? Did the Mint say what they plan on doing with the decks? Giveaways, enclosing with orders, promos? We only have a couple of serious card printers left in Oz, as the ease of home/digital printing has made it uneconomic for major printing firms to put out cards regularly  I'll have to chase one up now!! |

MMMMMMMMM, dont like that car coin, maybe because racing cars is not a sport. But to stay awake for 12 hours and hold the wheel is an endurance. But it is also good to see the reserve bank branching out to commemorate different aspects of society.

I will get the bathurst coin. Bathurst 1000 is the biggest sporting event of the year for me followed closely by the AFL grandfinal. For those who dont think its a sport I think they should do some research into just what it takes. Not too many unfit racers out there. I watched a documentary once that placed had them just as fit and strong as AFL players.

Ooh yes, looking forward to Bathurst again this year  It's an amazing place - I photographed it in 1992 (the year of the huge rainstorm that ended the race early), and again in 1998. As a photographer, I could get to such places as the Chase, where they come down at 300kmh, then kink to the right. Through a camera lens they approach SO fast, and I always flinched..!! The climb up the mountain is really steep, too: try walking up it some time. Believe me, the drivers are as fit as elite athletes, and the concentration required at the race is incredible. Nice to see a coin commemorating our Great Race. |

Pity they haven't got the 2013 year sets out yet, as that would make it a lot easier to spend the $50 to get the deck of cards mmmm - well as a little bonus it makes the postage cost justifiable at least... Might have to get one of the 20th Anniversary Kangaroo series coins instead.
@AC, you don't have to worry about pics, as it's on Page 9 of the latest Mint Issue.
@enworb I don't think we're likely to see any news of the $2 coloured circulation coin until the end of the year. The Mint could possibly release a carded Unc version, but we won't know until then...
@enlil I think "sport" could be summed up as a competitive pursuit that incorporates both mental and physical skills, whether involving agility, endurance or other measures. In this instance motor-sport would not be too dissimilar to yachting, equestrian or cycling.

Hi FNQ, did you get a card pack too with your mint issue :)
I have only scanned half the pack I should probably get back to it.
