GP, can you clarify what's the policy on 2oz and other size? Can they remint those as well? And what about proof kookas?
As far as I know, only 1oz bullion Kookaburras and 1kg Series II Lunars can be reminted. 1oz Series II Lunars were open to reminting, but all years have reached their mintage limits, so it's moot (the 2008 Mouse was reminted for a while).
the'92 kooks are out,so are the 2005 and 1996....im guessing it will be soon when all the 1oz kooks which have not reached the mintage limit will be out...this year...makes sense if end of the world is coming ...if that,let the mint accumulate all the cash and we keep all the metals
In another thread Maybe people are dispersion of getting any extra spot appreciation from these and dumping them on the market?

... Already up on goldstackers.com.au Those numbers listed above are the total available over all Perth Mint wholesale customers. 20% of the stock listed above is on its way to Melbourne from Perth as we speak.
The mint just completed a stocktake, as far as I know this was remnant stock identified during the stocktake thats spare from earlier remintings. As discussed elsewhere on the forum, Talisman and silbercorner have been stocking reminted Kooks for a couple of years - these would be excess production from those massive bulk orders. Expect all of these years to reach 300,000 eventually. Put it in the context of 1 million 2013 Kookaburras, and 40m+ ASEs.
