How to piss off the forum owner http://forums.silverstackers.com/to...nt-embargoed-images-of-year-of-the-horse.html
Many of us thought that once an image was flying around the internet that the secret is out and it was ok to post. H
Please don't - the mint is keen to identify distributors that leak these images (would NOT want to be one that gets identified doing so). They are the commercial property of the mint - they will not be linked to or hosted on this forum until the embargo is over.
Fine by me...I don't want to upset you guys or Perth. :| Image destroyed. H PS: And for those members who have tried to contact me to get a glimpse of the image...Forget It...aint happening so please don't PM me! The answer is NO!
The leak would have come from PM in the first place wouldn't it? If they don't want it to leak, maybe just don't show the dealers until the release date? We have the same thing year after year.. so what's new?
The mint makes the images available to distributors to prepare marketing materials in advance of the release - think Downies mailout catalogs, in-store signage, online dealer websites etc - even the artwork proofs for the printing and manufacture of numismatic release boxes need to be distributed to printers - but the images cannot be published prior to the embargo ending, which this year I believe is the day of the launch (2nd September).
Maybe PM should put unique watermarks on each material sent to each dealers.. then they can see who leaked the stuff.. Anyway, feels like marketing ploy to create excitement.. i guess they won't mind..

Here it is, exclusive photo of a new Lunar coin, Horse 2014: [img=FluxBB bbcode Horsey!]http://www.powercoin.it/1203-2834-large/horse-five-elements-lunar-year-1-oz-silver-coin-2-tokelau-2014.jpg[/img] ^^
ML, "horse-five-elements-lunar-year-1-oz-silver-coin-tokelau-2014" is the description that came up when I tried to save the image. NZ Mint normally makes the coins for Tokelau, but I didn't see the coin on their web site.
I was lucky enough to catch that leak last week too before it was deleted....as it should be. Even the forum where it was first leaked eventually deleted it too, I'm still undecided on whether or not I like it
