My local Woolworths didn't have any which was odd.
I got someone else to get me some.

I always wanted an equivalent for "Wallpaper stamps". Wallpaper is the stamp equivalent of these types of coins stuff like Marily Monroe and Elvis on stamps from Ghana and Tuvalu!

And just to let you all know I have culturally appropriated the term "Bubblegum coins" and you will see it in the 7th edition of the How far back we can go thread.
Mainly as my selection of 2022 and 2021 coins is limited and I only have my generously provided by Steve and DG, group of bubblegum coins to show so far. Its Hubba Bubba with me until we get out of the Covid era.
Steve, that Elvis sheet leaves me speechless - then again I foam at the mouth over anything with Prince or Michael Jackson on it.

Quote: Steve, that Elvis sheet leaves me speechless - I had a friend in England that said the same thing. He loves everything Elvis, so I said he could have it, if we ever get around to doing a trade. If it doesn't happen, then it's yours. Quote: Are the Woolworth stores running out of these? Kopper Ken, I think the promo finished a few week ago. Your friend could still buy them form the RAM website though... https://eshop.ramint.gov.au/2022-al...wealth-games

Steve, please no - I do not want that sheet.
Just stick to our Bubblegum Commonwealth gamez coins and I will be a happy man. Happy too that New Zealand won 49 Medals. We always do well in them compared to the Olympics, then again you guys won like 2000 medals!

Ok, no problem. You guys punched well above your weight. I didn't do the maths, but you might well have scored more golds per head of population than any other country.

They would be even more fed up now  there is a rumour that 4 x $1 coins are to be released with Dinosaurs on them - yes that is right the big fad of 1993, thanks to Jurassic park and a horrible puppet series. Every country in the world issued one or more sets of stamps with Dinosaurs on them. Even worse was many that did not have Dinosaurs found in them, had made up ones like New Zealand which issued a stamp with a plesiosaur called a "Mauisaurus". I kid you not. Steve - your blue suede shoe may have some bubblegum on it!
