Great Aussie coin hunt

[martinw-48]

Australia Post are going to have a different commemorative $1 coin starting on the 30th for twenty six weeks to hand out in their change

I'm going to have to buy some new pages for my coin album

We've already had a heap of different circulation coins this year what with the new obverse effigy

Unfortunately this stupid phone doesn't always allow you to share via clipboard so I can't provide a link but if you have an Australia Post account you can check it out

So now to get you to spend more money there's a special A coin with an envelope.
Already listed on ebay with some sellers having multiple examples for over $400

Think about it Martin.

Let it go.

Well I'm back to calling it a scam.
You can buy all twenty six coins and folder for $49.
So the claim that you can only get the coins in your change was a lie to just increase sales because they knew that they were going to do this all along.
Now to get you to buy the rolls of twenty six coins there's the chance of securing a rare A coin with an envelope mint mark.
My first impressions are often correct

These sets were never going to be valuable......there were too many released into circulation.  IMO they are not even good looking coins....they look cheap and shoddy to me.

It is like the supermarket cons.....create an atificial demand for them and the price will skyrocket immediately until everyne has their set and wants to sell them.  It is doubtful that people will get what they initially paid for the set.

I don't collect for future value.
Jusy feel scammed because I've paid $85 and I'm still short four coins.
So I'll have to shell out $49 now to have a full set.
I collect lots of stuff I'll never see any return from
I'm selling the last of my classic cars because I don't want my brother in law getting them when I die because he has no loyalty to anything except his stupid English football team and my rifles so that my sister doesn't have the hassles of disposal of them and some police officer getting extremely rare rifles for nothing
I could have waited and secured all the coins for $49
They will be worth more than a dollar each because they won't have been minted in the tens of millions like an ordinary $1
Definitely better than buying drugs
Or wasting the money restoring cars
Just to have some peanut key it or run into it
I've certainly wasted a lot of money on cars that could be used at the moment to pay the $200 a fortnight to cut my lawn

martin, what 4 letters are you missing?  Maybe I can help you get the ones you are missing.

Just today I got the letter “V” in some change at the PO, and I have some others that are excess to my needs.

Might be missing something.....how come it has cost you $85 to get 22 coins?

I've been collecting them too and although I'm still short 8 of them have only spent $18 - oh and $9 for the collectors folder

martin was buying stamps and/or other things to get coins in his change.  This was the way the ‘scheme’ was meant to work . . . buy something and get them in your change.

I was in Melbourne for a number of weeks recently and every PO I went to did a straight swap when I let them know what letters I wanted.  I didn’t try to get a full set.  I got the letters to make up the names of nephews and nieces.  Only needed 23 letters and although it took some effort I managed to get the last that I needed at Anglesea PO.  They seemed to have hundreds when I went there.
