Orange $2 coin

[Redlock]

So, there will be issued a new coloured $2 commemorative coin soon.
Pictures are already floating on the internet. Don't know whether they are accurate.

I wish our esteemed Australian members of the Castle good luck ''hunting'' them

I have heard mention of this coin in the Australian Coin Forum, but I won't be holding my breath.
Still haven't seen any of the last coloured $2 coin yet and haven't seen any 2015 coins at all.

Any that I do find though, I will make sure I hold some for you and other members here.

Here's an easy way to get them for residents of Australia

I have bitten the bullet and bought a pack from the R.A.M.
Postage is a killer, doubles the cost.
Ralf, one of these will have your name on it.

Steve, do you have enough to set one of those aside for me? I would be interested in one if they are not all spoken for yet.

I also ordered a bag (5) of orange $2 Remembrance Coin plus a bag (5) Red Lest we forget coins.   That way postage is split over the 10 coins instead of 5.


SirStacksALot...there is one with your name on it Jim.

[SirStacksALot]

Thanks Barry, do you have one of each that you can set aside for me

[TKO]

Hey guys...don't forget me. How do I get in on this?

[Humpybong]

No worries Jim and Terry......an orange and a red will be sent to each of you.

Thank you very much! I highly appreciate it!

I am still shocked by the high postage that Australians have to pay.

Perhaps the RAM should take a lesson from the RCM -- and I'm sure the RCM still makes money from it:

Barry, thanks for looking after Jim and Terry. I don't have any spare red ones.

Ralf, you are welcome.

I think both RCM and RM both do coins at face value and include delivery to.

[Nevol]

I am still shocked by the high postage that Australians have to pay.

Considering that the RAM had a $4m loss last year, who knows what we'll be paying soon.

$10 postage for 5 coins, just a little excessive I think.

[MattTheRiley]

I want one too Steve!

[Kena]

Folks are not happy with the RCM limiting orders to 1 set per household.

[Nevol]

The RAM are limiting them to One Set of 5 per order, but you  can place more orders, but each order will require $10 postage.

[Triggersmob]

I want one too Steve!

No problems Matt, that's the last one now.

[Erik]

This is stupid ... unfortunately our state mint is the same. Postage is outrageous   

[Kena]

I must be lucky....the monthly mailings that I get from the UK Royal Mint always seem to have a few shipping code for online orders which I use for small order which are under 45 pounds sterling since orders over that amount placed online they give free shipping as standard.

Last time I paid for shipping from the Royal Mint was back in 2013.

[Humpybong]

Well I was still waiting for the orange $2 I ordered and they never turned up, I thought I had made an error in my order.

SO I went and ordered again.  They are on the way to me and should be with me this week.  Will post on to all who have ordered after I receive them.  I ordered 5 Orange (Remembrance) coin and 5 Red (Lest we Forget) coin.

Then I found a copy of my original order so I rang the mint and was given some bullshit story about running out of stock.  Told them what I thought of this story and asked how come I am getting the coins I order 2 days before yet the ones I ordered 2 weeks before are held up.

Well next think I receieve an email stating that items have been posted.  SO this week I am expecting a 2 bags of each $2 coin.

If anyone else wants one of each coloured coin let me know.

[Triggersmob]

You must have got one of the last packs Barry.
The 5 pack of Remembrance $2 coins is not on the RAM website anymore.

[Humpybong]

One pack has arrived....still waiting on the 2nd pack!

They say it is in the mail.....must be coming via WA since it is so slow.

[Triggersmob]

Took ages for mine to arrive too.

[trout]

I bought a roll of these and they are pretty bagged up

Does not surprise me, Jim.
I have a carded one, and that is in near perfect condition.

[Humpybong]

My second lot has arrived, so will be posting out to US next week.

Last chance if anyone wants one orange (Remembrance) and one red (Lest We Forget).....I have 3 of each left.

[Humpybong]

OK......all who ordered from me.....coins have been mailed.

Still have a couple left if anyone interested.

Dear friends. How is it with colored 2 dollars ? They are in circulation in Australia ? I have from Mr.Steve one 2013 with purple ring and one  2016 with  purple ring. They are very nice coins and I like try to collect another.

[Humpybong]

Hi Erik,

[Erik]

Thank you very much Mr. Barry so we will try to find something in return. My postal address is the same. This year I am going to finish in school but I must stay in the home because now I dont have girlfriend and my mother is a very good cook 

[Triggersmob]
