    Some do, but the rare ones don't pop-up very often.

    If you are interested in the 1oz carded coins, keep an eye on Talisman coins, sometimes they have a special price. (Warning!!! Most of their coins are over-priced imo...so check other sources for a fair price).

    Here's a link.

    2009 Carded Koala

    Try to buy the coins in your country so that postage is cheaper. :)

    Best of luck with whatever you decide. :)

    Cheers

    I did not get the 2013 yet. I hate that they went the couloured route but what can you do.

    I am just waiting for a good price though ;)

    The coloured coin looks much nicer than the images on Perth's web-site.

    I'll try to post a few images of the actual coin later today. :)

    Zman...here's the image of one of my coins.

    Hope you like it.

    This image was taken of the coin...in its capsule and cellophane wrapper...so...without those layers you can expect the coin to look even better. Truly...it's a great looking coin. :)
