Hey Newguy make sure that is an "International" money order if you are mailing to Canada! Makes things a whole lot easier for our friends up north when they get the right one!

How and Where?

Yes we have Western Union here,but you might want to check with your local post office first for an International Money Order ( as crystalk64 said),because Western Union might be too expensive for you ( they might ask too much for just a few dollars you want to send me).I'll wait until you find the best solution,no rush.

Abyss, The coins have arrived. Wow! If the Royal Australian mint coins like these for circulation, we'd have bigger collections.

LOOK at the coloured ribbon! The Ribbon is rotating on different coins. If you look where the longest part of the ribbon is pointing to the "25 Cents" you will see they are not the same. I have one that points to the 2, the C, the e, the s, and between the silver ribbon and the 25 and one pointing directly to the silver ribbon.

Also, look to see if the ribbon is centered where it's suppose to be. One ribbon is slightly off centered on the coin, with part of the white backround outside the inner circle.

These are so cool! Thanks very much.

Abyss, You should see if you can get a complete set of rotations. One Australian Forum member made a clock face with an Australian dollar coin that was rotating. He used 12 coins in a circle at each position, I o'clock, two o'clock, etc. He made a couple sets and sold one set on ebay for a few hundred dollars!

Rotation Pointing at "2"

I got mine just less than an hour ago. Along with some other excellent Canadian coins.
If Eugen goes on helping me like this, I think I may complete all Canadian type coins before I complete all TR coins

Thank you very much Eugen.

Abyss received my 2 coins from toast and think they are great looking coins.

Many thanks for obtaining them for me.

The only problem is I have already given them away to 2 ladies who have breast cancer. They are using them as a good luck token.

Sorry I did not order more. Thanks again.

Thanks Eugene.

I have used the wrong phrase in the post above....it was not a problem to give away the coins it was my choice. One of the ladies in question was operated on today and I understand from her husband is not the best tonight. She will be in hospital for at least another 2 days and she has the coin with her for luck.

I have replied to your email Eugene and thanks again.
