Holy shit. So RCM figured out that getting a machine to rough up the surface before applying the paint makes it stick better? I'm sure nobody else ever thought of that. They deserve billions of dollars for being so super smart.

 

If true RAM should be flogged and fined ten times the monetary value.

 

Weird, cannot find an official press release from RCM.
(wouldn't you expect it, if the matter was serious)

may be it was done in previous years

 

It’s only $2m I doubt it matters that much.

 

I believe its RCM suing Perth Mint over unofficial use of milk spots.

 

I shall apply for a patent in producing milk spots and register it as my trademark!
Check all your coins and pay up, or I will see you in court...........
