grendelfreak Valued Member Australia 281 Posts	Posted 02/13/2006 01:37 am Hey lim118 on the coloured 50c piece, is that an "official" colouring? Report this Post to the Staff
KLD Pillar of the Community Australia 1079 Posts	Posted 02/13/2006 01:40 am What do you mean by offical colouring? They we not put into circulation like this. The ram coloured them for the proof issue. Lim will correct me if I am wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
grendelfreak Valued Member Australia 281 Posts	Posted 02/13/2006 01:51 am What I meant was it done by the mint or some other third party. Report this Post to the Staff
RenaL Pillar Of The Community Turkey 1205 Posts	Posted 02/13/2006 02:36 am I wonder, the first one, coloured 50 cents, seems like flat and all the figures except "50" are given with paint. Is that correct? Kangaroo and ostrich aren't actually "minted"? Report this Post to the Staff
grendelfreak Valued Member Australia 281 Posts	Posted 02/13/2006 02:38 am apart from the paint thats normal, btw its an emu not an ostrich. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 02/13/2006 03:39 am RenaL, the Maccas guide (one of our local catalogues) has a footnote on the proof $1: "The Unc. coin has a raised map of Australia while the map on the proof is painted onto a flat surface.". I don't know if the 50c is painted on flat or raised surface or not; there's no footnote for the 50c. 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
