Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 08/14/2007 5:34 pm Here is a neat little Australian Wildlife set my wife picked up while on leave (USAF) in Perth in the early 80s before we got married. All the coins are dated 1981 except the 20 Cent piece which was lost. Probably our oldest daughter many years ago, LOL... Take Care Ben Report this Post to the Staff

ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 08/14/2007 8:01 pm That's a lovely mint set Bonedigger! However, I recommend taking the coins out of that plastic folder, and putting them in something safer for coins. Those old folders are notorious for getting sticky, and doing PVC damage to coins. I kept the folders, they're wonderful to have, but I took my coins out for their own safety. :) Report this Post to the Staff

ElleKitty is completely correct though, they're best taken out of the packet and stored separately. The earlier RAM mint packaging was known for leaving a sticky PVC residue on the coins.

Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 08/15/2007 09:55 am I've taken the coins out, thanks for the heads-up everyone, much appreciated. As far as replacing the 20 cent piece I'll keep you guys in-mind, but the set has a lot of appeal to us just the way it is, because it was our oldest daughter Jessie's play money. She's almost 20 years old now, WOW, how time flys... I popped in a worn 20 for the picture. Just another wandering Celt... Ben Report this Post to the Staff
