Nope...have not seen one "in the flesh" but have seen the advertising brochures from dealers.

Just may have to get one.

I wont be getting one. Firstly, they are not the same size as the RAM dollar. Secondly, they are from the Perth mint. Thirdly, there are enough coins being released from the RAM for me to keep up with.
