New Aussie $1 coin for circulation

[Tobyle]

For those interesting in the Aussie dollars, RAM has just announced that the 2009 Centenary of the Commonwealth Age Pension $1 coin has been issued for circulation. I am presuming that RAM will soon have the rolls for sale (as they have been advertised through another source).

[Nighthawk]

I for one would like a couple of coins if you can swing it! Please let me know. Thanks. 

[Tobyle]

I'll get a roll as soon as they are available - so will keep yours aside, Nighthawk ...... then will send your package off (at last).

Anyone else needing any, I'll have a few spares.

Here is a pic of the coins

[Templar]

   IF POSSIBLE COULD YOU GET ME A COUPLE AND LET ME KNOW THE COST IN MONEY OR TRADE?

                       YOUR SERVANT---THE TEMPLAR

[Tobyle]

Will do, Templar. Will let you know as soon as I am able to get hold of the roll. Will phone RAM this morning to see if I can find out when they will be available.

Just for the running tally:

Nighthawk - 2
Templar - 2
Ellekitty - 1
Twoshadows - 1
Coincrusader - 1
Marek - 1

[Nighthawk]

Anna, I will check with Templar tonight, but if you like to save a bit on postage, mail his coins and mine together, since we only live a couple of miles apart, and we belong to the same local clubs, and always see each other at all the local shows. Just an idea. 

[Tobyle]

I just called into local coin shop this morning - they are expecting the rolls in on Tuesday or Wednesday and will keep a roll aside from me. I will have to be heading down to Melbourne for a couple of weeks, so won't be able to pick them up until after that.

Thanks Nighthawk - I was actually thinking about that - thought I would send over a few spares in case anyone else in US is wanting any (I presume CoinCrusader will be wanting one). I'll package up the rest of the coins I have to send you at the same time.

[Nighthawk]

That would be great Anna! Thanks. 

[Templar]

          ANNA--i trust Nighthawk enough to get the coins to me and not jack the price on me too much1

                 always your servant--the Templar

[Nighthawk]

Oh, you can trust me Joe.....     

[ElleKitty]

I would like one as well, if I may please.

[Tobyle]

Have added you to the list, ElleKitty ..... don't forget it will be 2-3 weeks before I can pick them up.

Now I am sure ALL of you are aware of the Indiana Coin and Currency Act of 1802 which requires an example of ALL imported coins and currency be surrendered to the Indiana Authentification Office administrator (ME) in an effort to assure the collectors on the North American continent they are getting authentic pieces as described by the country of origin. (Any body buying any of this?)
And it further states that all Australia one dollar coins or proofs of such be stored PERMANENTLY in the state office (my house) until further notice. You don't want to know the penalty for failure to submit! I am sure it is a horrible price to pay for such a serious violation of the import laws.
So go ahead and put me down for one of those new dollar coins! Any new $1 Kangaroo's or proof Kangaroo's available out of the 2009 or upcoming 2010 series? Got to keep my herd up!!!
Also will be needing the 2010 silver Koala's in both one ounce and half ounce as soon as someone can get their paws on them! Got to have my silver!!! And for some unknown reason I LOVE half ounce coins!!!

[Templar]

Is it me or is the manure getting rather deep aroung the castle?

Is someone  c**pp**g in our moat??          

[TwoShadows]

It is good that I refresh everyone's memory every few months or so? Numismatic laws are very complex but, as always, I will continue to keep them simple and understandable to all involved. It is the least I can do for such good friends.

Now Nevol and Templar you keep your eyes peeled for anyone who might smell up our moat or castle! Its great to know our Knights and Knightesses are alert and on duty. Let me know if you find such a culprit!!!

[CoinCrusader42]

I had a complete collection at one time.

I too would like one of the new ones.

 

[Tobyle]

Twoshadows,
The 1 oz koala is currently available from Perth Mint, but havn't seen or heard anything about a 1/2 oz one.

http://www.perthmint.com.au/catalogue/2010-australian-koala-1oz-silver-coin.aspx

If you haven't been able to get hold of one by the time I arrive back from Melbourne, I'll see if I can get hold of one.

This is the 2010 silver proof Kangaroo:

[Muckeye]

I don't think it is you Templar, the manure seems to be getting a bit deep around the Castle.
regards,

[Nighthawk]

I think I found the source of the smell. You guys need to remember to close the door when you're done! And don't forget there's a can of air freshener on the counter-top. 100 knights in this castle, and only 1 potty............ BTW, who's turn is it to clean out the porta-potty??? 

[ElleKitty]

Don't look at me! I use the litterbox.

[Templar]

I USE THE FOREST MOST OF THE TIME---ITS AN OLD FAMILY CUSTOM
           YOUR SERVANT--THE GLADE TEMPLAR---I MEAN GLAD
                                                   

[Nighthawk]

If someone farts in the forest, and there's no one around to smell it, does it really stink?  (Old Chinese proverb) 

[TwoShadows]

You would have to ask one of the masses of fleeing wildlife why they are running out of the woods I suppose?

[Tobyle]

Sorry to get back on track here, but ........ Will be going to Melbourne for a couple of weeks tomorrow morning - will have only minimal (if any) access to internet, so if anyone else wishes to place an order and I don't respond, please don't think I'm ignoring you - I will get the coins organized as soon as I return.
Anna

               MOST OLD CHINESE CAN'T SMELL ANYWAY!---BUT I DO KNOW THAT IF FARTS HAVE LUMPS YOU ARE IN TROUBLE WHERE EVER YOU ARE!

                    YOUR SERVANT--THE TEMPLAR

[Marek]

Hi Anna
Please, can you put one coin for me aside too?
Thanks,
Marek

[Tobyle]

Have added you to the list, Marek.

There will be another 5 or 6 spares.

[Muckeye]

Hi Anna, please put me down for two if there are any left.
regards Muckeye.

[Humpybong]

Hello Anna, can I have 2 as well thanks.

[Tobyle]

I just arrived back home from Melbourne this evening so will hopefully get hold of the coins tomorrow. Will need some addresses!

Anna

[Templar]

IF YOU CAN SPARE 1 OR 2 ---I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO OBTAIN SOME---PLEASE LET ME KNOW PRICE----MY ADDRESS: JOE GOODE
                                                   10055 ARCOLA ST.
                                                   LIVONIA, MICHIGAN  48150
                                                   U.S.A.
                                                   e-mail--sandorr @ aol.com
 also willing to trade if there is anything you need

               YOUR SERVANT---THE TEMPLAR

[Nighthawk]

I would like 2 also. PM sent with my address. Thank you.   

[Nighthawk]

Anna, better yet why don't you just send all the coins to the Templar and save some money on postage? He'll see that I get them. 

[ElleKitty]

That sounds like a good idea to me.  So- for whomever ends up with the coin I asked for, please send it to

Tracy Thompson
10946 Moonlit Canyon
San Antonio TX 78252
US of A

and I appreciate it very much

[Nevol]

Hey folks, It's not a good idea to post your addressess here. 

Baaad people may see them! 

Pm's are a much safer alternative.

[ElleKitty]

That they may be, but since my postal address is already available to anyone who wants it, I see no reason why to bother with a PM.

Thanks for being helpful! 

[Nighthawk]

Good advice Nancy. I hope folks take it to heart! 

[Templar]

I POST MY ADDRESS AND EMAIL ON OCCASIONS--I FEEL THAT THOSE READING OUR MAIL ARE BASICALLY HONEST--BESIDES I HAVE A GENERAL TRUST IN PEOPLE UNLESS I KNOW OTHERWISE---AND I CAN BE BAAAD IF CALLED UPON!

     YOUR SERVANT---THE TRUSTING TEMPLAR

[Triggersmob]

The only problem being, is that anyone can read these post, not just members.

[Nighthawk]

You are absolutely right Steve! That's why I encourage folks to send PM's instead of listing their addresses here. Makes sense to me! 

[Tobyle]

Muckeye and Marek,

Still need your addresses please to send the coins

Thanks
Anna

[Tobyle]

Sorry about the delay ..... had to return to coin shop to get some 2x2s to put the coins in.
Have the following ready to send out tomorrow:

Humpybong x 2
Muckeye x 2
Ellekitty x 1
Nighthawk x 2
Templar x 2
Twoshadows x 1
Coincrusader x 1

Still waiting on address from Marek.


Have I missed anyone? Have 1 or 2 more spares if required.

[Templar]

THANKS FOR THE EFFORT--IF POSSIBLE SEND NIGHTHAWKS COINS TO MY ADDRESS TO SAVE ON SHIPPING--I WILL GET IT TO HIM--I PROMISE--CROSS MY HEART1

         YOUR SERVANT--THE TEMPLAR

[Tobyle]

Shall do! Templar, do you still want those Banjo dollars as well?

[Triggersmob]

Tobyle,

Marek is away for a few days.
If you haven't heard from him soon,
let me know and I can give you his address.

[Templar]

Shall do! Templar, do you still want those Banjo dollars as well?

YES I WOULD ----HOW MUCH?--AND HOW DO I PAY?--JUST ADD IT TO THE COST OF THE AUSSIE DOLLARS?

            YOUR SERVANT---THE TEMPLAR

[Tobyle]

OK, Templar, will add those to the package. If it is ok with you, I'll send you a list of what I need from the US and leave it to you to choose what is easiest for you to get hold of.
