    Not a bad release but I really dislike the "exterminate" text displayed on it. I think it ruins the coin tbh.
    Sure Dr Who fans will jump at this though!

    Nice coin, and NZ Mint has a much better price than Perth Mint and Downies (who are listing for $75 AUD).

    But the $19 freight to Oz on each coin is a bit rich for me, so have to give it a miss :(

    If you package all 5 coins in one shipment it may be more attractive...

    I hope they release the Dr Who monster that was clearly made out of bubble wrap and green cellophane... that one was really scary.

    Price is $70 NZD, or about $65 AUD. A saving of $10 would get you at least a 4 pack! :p :lol:

    How can Perth Mint set an official issue price for their distributors if these come from NZ Mint and are cheaper there? Why wouldn't people just buy from NZ Mint (and get their cornettos at the corner shop)?
