    what's with the arm dangling? What's wrong with the Perth. They are tanking bad. Terrible.

    I agree, it looks kinda grotesque.

    Also, I CBF googling it but don't the leaves actually sedate/slightly poison the koalas? I thought I heard that.

    I had to double-check the PM website to check that the koala actually wasn't holding that blunt, haha good one!

    Sure is a strange looking Koala. I mean no disrespect to the Chinese people, but the Koala looks like a chinese koala.

    No way I will buy that coin.

    The anatomy looks all wrong and it's very disconcerting. I really don't understand how this passed review. That utter horribleness of the arm really jumps out at you.

    This series had a lot of promise and they could have done great things with it. I know its a trivial thing, but it does annoy me that the Perth Mint squandered such an opportunity. I should apply for the CEO position and put a stop to this shit. It wouldn't be hard to improve.
