Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 10:35 pm Thursday 28 April 2011 With the Royal Wedding just hours away, the Royal Australian Mint is busy putting its finishing touches on a few of its own royal celebrations. Coin Swap at Royal Wedding Live Site, Sydney -- Friday 29 April 2011 Swap any 20 cent coin for a brand new Royal Wedding 20 cent coin! The Royal Australian Mint will have a booth at the live site with a limited 15 000 coins for swapping. You will need to swap a 20 cent coin and show the code received from SMSing the number featured on Live Site TVs. Be the first to get the new 20 cent coin! Where: Customs House Square, Circular Quay Time: 10am-10pm (or until swapped out) Official launch of the Australian Royal Wedding Coin Collection, Canberra -- Saturday 30 April 2011 The designs have already been unveiled but now the Royal Wedding Coins are finally on sale with the Mint Coin Shop being the first to have them in store! You can even bring your own royal coin collection and have it valued for free from a notable coin valuer. The cafÃ© will be providing a Devonshire Tea Special for the day so you can treat yourself with a scone and tea. With the purchase of a Royal Wedding uncirculated 50 cent coin, the first 1000 people will be able to swap any 20 cent coin for a brand new Royal Wedding 20 cent coin (one coin per purchase, no limit per person)! Where: Royal Australian Mint Coin Shop, Deakin ACT Time: 10am (speech commences at 10:15am) -- 4pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/29/2011 08:19 am I live in Sydney where this event took place. There was no way I could get to it. I would have been working, but on the day, I was taking my wife to hospital. The R.A. Mint was there with with 15,000 examples, which by U.S. standards, is a ridiculously small number of coins. It is highly probable, however that the Mint will release the coin more widely later on. Obviously, the total number issued will have a critical bearing on the price of the coin in the numismatic after market. Report this Post to the Staff
wesley Valued Member 195 Posts	Posted 04/29/2011 08:54 am This event is what is called a publicity stunt from RAM marketing department.A nice touch from them trying to excite the public into buying RAM coins,IMO they should have had a booth at the Sydney Royal Easter Show like they used to No special deal there realistically,the coins will become available in the hundreds of thousands in time The link is http://www.ramint.gov.au/media/pres...20110428.cfm Pick these up anytime for issue price Report this Post to the Staff
Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 04/29/2011 11:12 pm It's a Good publicity stunt. Pity they didn't prepare and left everything to the last minute as usual. Now the mint is in a panic with pre orders. 2 eBayers are cashing in on this http://cgi.ebay.com/2011-Royal-WEDD...em19c51ce4c4 http://cgi.ebay.com/William-and-Kat...em3f098610e0 At least five million coins will go into general circulation; it might take a month for the first one to appear in your change.
