But even if they had specified a purchase over eg $5 to qualify to buy one, I am sure a lot of people would have been in it.
They have sold on eBay already:
Set of 6 for $50
As always some are making a quick $ on any new coin that comes in their change (others get them before
they are even released).
You couldn't buy a stamp with a dollar coin as you wouldn't get a $ change.
That is the bit i hate.
You have to hope you get one in your change.
I suppose you could ask if you could possibly have one in your change.
I bet they came up with this idea after seeing the success of the Little things scheme etc at Coles. Difference with Coles is yes, people bought the cases to hold the collection (at exhorbitant prices first time round as there were so few) and yes, people were keen on collecting them, but people could be certain that if they spent a set amount, they would definitely get a piece.
It may not have been the piece they wanted and they had to arrange a swap, but they knew how to get them in the first place.
This PO thing sounds hit and miss. Buy something but you may or may not get a coin. I wonder if people will buy the collector's case if your chances are so hit and miss. I might pop into a PO today to see how I go. Will let you know.
