Luna Series 07 Pig

LeAnn, good idea about a way of getting the kids interested in the hobby. I'm trying the Ocean Series with mine (10 & 12 year old girls).

They liked the movie finding Nemo.

Next years coin will be the year of the Rat. The RAM have rejected my design




This site is worth having a look at. It covers all the known Calendars in the world and gives an explanation on each.

http://webexhibits.org/calendars/ca...chinese.html

Many different calendars have been developed over the millennia to help people organize their lives. According to a recent estimate, there are about forty calendars used in the world today, particularly for determining religious dates. Most modern countries use the Gregorian calendar (see the Year) for their official activities.

Westerners should keep in mind that there are indeed several calendars actively in use. For example, here are 11 public holidays in Singapore:

New Year's Day (January 1)
Chinese New Year and day after.
Good Friday
Labor Day (May 1)
Vesak Day
National Day (August 9)
Deepavali
Christmas (December 25)
Hari Raya Puasa
Hari Raya Haji

These include three secular holidays, New Year's Day, Labor Day and National Day, and eight religious/racial holidays: Two Chinese, two Islamic, two Indian and two Christian. Christmas falls on a fixed date in the Gregorian calendar, but the other seven traditional holiday are movable.

Shep: Nice rat coin!!
Triggermob: Thanks for looking. Oh, I also have a sewing machine to trade if you want it for your wife. Just kidding, shipping costs would kill my budget on coins.
Thanks,
LeAnn

I was talking about the first pig picture in this thread not the first one of the group of pictures in one post.

Hi LeAnn, Sorry I haven't replied earlier, but I have been offline while I change ISP'S. The first coin I posted is not in circulation. As you have already found out it comes from the Royal Australian Mint. I haven't forgotten about a coin for you and now I am back online I will try Bigfella and see if he has one.
I'll let you know.

Steve

Thanks, Bigfella. One ordered, plus a few coins for myself.
