    No don't think they did any more years as the marketing ploy didn't work o_O
    He tried to make out they were the official Melbourne Mint when he only just registered the business name . :eek:

    I wouldn't pay more than spot for them.
    Then I would take them to my jeweller mate and get them melted down and made into something.

    I'm definitely in the 'These are Bogus' camp.

    I remember when Bron Suchecki came over from the Perth Mint to check out this place. It was a Comedy.

    Whenever they come across my path I buy them and destroy them. I would never sell them on as they are not what they say they are.

    Of course when I say 'Destroy' I mean melted down into a sculpture or at least a crappy cast bar with ethics.

    Ck.

    They aren't ... But the chisel I use to cut them in half is.

    I have one of these so if you keep on destroying other examples mine will eventually be worth a Mint
