    Very nice Kook again.

    Koala looks like a happy drunk making his way home.

    Love the Kook, like the Kangaroo, What he said 'bout Koala, Silver Monkey is disappointing IMO - looks sketchy - gold one's a little better.

    Maybe the koala's stunned that there's only going to be 300K of him. :D

    The Koala is reasonably good, but the Kook is spectacular, even better than the 08 Kook.

    Are they really not issuing the 10oz koalas anymore?

    I think I figured out the issue with the Ag Monkey, at least for me..


    Both monkey heads are throwing it off.

    Covered them with my thumbs, and the coin looks way better.


    Will have to see customer vids & photos before any purchase..

    Very happy with the Kookaburra, and that is one of the few Koala designs that I've really liked.

    Nice work Perth Mint

    PS - Happy to see a Silver Kangaroo added to the list :)

    I love silver kangaroo! Lunars are a bit disappointing. Also gold kangaro is a little bit ugly. Koala and kookaburra are OK.

    Utterly disappointed with both the silver and gold monkey coins. Monkey being a popular lunar animal, PM should have come up with a stunning design. The sure winners are the silver kookaburra and silver kangaroo.

    There's alot to like about the new kangaroo, got me thinking it is a little similar to security enhancements of the maple. Would like to see the finer details of the kook, and atleast the koala doesn't look like a photoshoped grainy image of some pretty poor project outsourced to someone who outsourced it to someone who... 'art'work. So the koala is a pass, and stepping out into the right direction.

    You could almost launch a barbed wire and wattle/gumtree series.

    Thanks for sharing these videos and pictures.

    I like the kook and the kangaroo. I don't like the koala. I am very disapointed with the monkey.

    Cheers from France!
