There's threads about three of the coins from the series here, here and here. Quote: Is this a good buy? If you appreciate the history and like the designs of the coins, go ahead and buy them. If you're hoping for an investment "sleeper", I wouldn't recommend them. Perth Mint coins have a generally poor track record. Personally, I try to avoid such blatant collector-oriented marketing. Tuvalu is a small Pacific island nation, located nowhere near the events depicted on these coins and with no historic connection to them whatsoever. The coinage of Tuvalu should be (or at least it should pretend to be) relevant to Tuvaluans, not aimed solely at foreigners who know little and care less about where Tuvalu is. 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
rggoodie Moderator United States 23510 Posts	Posted 11/02/2009 9:28 pm The Perth Mint is a prolific producer of coins There are only two series I collect. If you collected everything they did you would need a warehouse. The coins from Tuvalu are what I call fun coins. You can get - cars, motorcycles, Barbie, Famous battles, airplanes ... If you like them they are fun but realize Tuvalu does have its own currency and very few people collect their currency rggoodie aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Report this Post to the Staff
