Is the ATO PNC an official RAM product or is it made as an order by a Numismatic Club? Is there a press release?

What we now know as the ATO the Australian Tax Office was formed in 1910 beginning as the Land and Tax Office in the Commonwealth Treasury. This department was initially established to fund invalid and old age pensions. 100 years later we reflect on it's achievements with a comemmorative 20c issued by the Royal Australian Mint. The centenary officially occurs on November 11th but with respect to Remembrance Day celebrations will take place on November 12th 2010. A program of events continues throughout 2010 including a book release and also the recognition of Women in the ATO on International Women's Day in March 2010.Approximately 5 million 20c piece will be released into circulation. The reverse design "Working for all Australians 100 The Australian Tax Office Centenary 2010 20 cents" was designed in collaboration with the Australian Tax Office and the Royal Australian Mint designers. The obverse is the standard Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.The PNC released by Australia Post is just one release in a series of stamps and first day covers. It features one 60c stamp postmarked in Canberra 2600 on the date of issue July 27th 2010. This PNC is limited to 15,000 and each cover is uniquely numbered

Dang, y'all celebrate your tax office down under when it turns 100? I'm pretty sure I'll be doing something in three years when ours turns 100 - but it won't be a celebration.  |

I did see a post on the australian three-pence site about possibly finding these in change soon. Does that mean they release them into circulation before the anniversary? I find it a bit confusing that PNC release them early and then placed into circulation 4 months later. Go figure?

Perhaps they are releasing them early to maximise the chances of actually selling them all. When the coins start arriving in change some collectors might be less likely to buy a PNC just to get the coin.

Mark, you are spot on. What do these cost? $15 or $20? Regardless, I am not going to spend that much when I can get one for 20c. I only hope they continue with the roll revival at the RAM and issue them in rolls as well.
