    Just got the official distributor notification. NONE left at The Perth Mint of any year for wholesale order - 1991 to 2007 remints are SOLD OUT. Just 2013 now.

    So if you want them, snaffle them.

    I have enough 2007's, but I reckon that is a good year to get for someone looking at buying older year kook's...

    Free plug for GS

    2007 was reminted. GS is sold out of 2004 (and 1991).

    Question from a new guy..

    I gather the total mintage on Kooks has room to allow PM to re-mint small batches of past years. How often do they typically do this? I want to slowly acquire a complete set so just want to know how often these chances come up. Prefer this way to ebay from strangers at inflated $$...

    Yep, as finicky linked to, reminted Kookaburras are now a thing of the past. No more reminting of previous year coins. Kudos to the mint for listening to some rather vocal feedback especially on this forum!

    I think that the provision may still be in place for 1kg Series II Lunar coins (didn't pay much attention to whether that had changed as it's always been stated as the case).
