Hey guys

Did anybody acquire the exclusive $1 dollar coin, for the (14)20cent ANZAC coin collection, being run by the sunday times?

LOL. not that one.....If you got the sunday times home delivered, you could purchase/receive a $1 dollar coin with a red poppy flower on it...I collect anything anzac's, and didn't find out about it's existance, before it was too late to get one.

If you go into the Sunday Times office and ask nicely, they may help you out. They are usually pretty good with things like that.

Nope. Each state was issued 500 $1 Anzac coins.....and I phoned each state head office, and they were all gone.

ok cool ... I ordered an extra set myself which hasn't arrived yet. That link I sent you is now dead and it seems they have now sold out.

I'm hunting for one of the $2 Red Anzac coins but can't find one yet. Have been to multiple banks and shops to ask. No-one up here has seen one yet.

They are being sold on Ebay for up to $50 each or $650 for a bag of 25!!

Don't know how these people get hold of full bags of them. But selling for that price is a massive ripoff and I refuse to pay that for them.

From what I can tell Banks don't get them in ... They are delivered to shops like Coles or Woolies by companies like Chubb or Armaguard. Someone in those companies must be doing some switching of $2 coin bags and then trying to make a massive profit on Fleabay or Slumtree.

Just hope I pick one up in change eventually.

Cheers Mike
