I'd assume they're going to a do a different animal each year until people get bored with the series. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Elimist Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 10:30 am I just tried to look it up and it made my head hurt. I can't tell if there are several different mints making several different series of coins or if there are typos involved in the description or what. I found a 2015 saltwater crocodile listed on APMEX but it said it was the 3rd in a series produced by the Royal CANADIAN Mint As far as I can tell there has been a 2nd series of Saltwater Crocodile coins that are made after popular crocodiles from the Austrailain Zoo and that has been made for the past 3 years featuring Graham, Bindi, and Argo Jr. The 2014 Bullion coin seems like it was the first in a wildlife series that this year changed to featuring a funnel web spider. However, a simple google search did not tell me that I'm just kinda filling in the gaps myself. Report this Post to the Staff

APMEX probably saw it advertised on the RCM site and assumed the RCM actually made them. As for why Perth Mint seems to be a bit shy about declaring this to be a "new series", I'm not sure. Perhaps they themselves aren't sure they want to start a "new series" and will only call it so until and unless there is proven demand for it.
