    I've thought they were Norfed coins smartly hidden in PM tubes so Feds didn't find them... :p

    Wonder if it would ever be possible to make a dual currency coin, i.e this coin would be 50c legal tender in the US and Australia.

    So these coins don't come in capsules. shame. I hope that Perth Mint doesn't start producing their other coins without capsules, and in tubes instead.

    Been a demand for lower cost bullion coins from The Perth Mint for a long time.

    I went a bit manic and bought a tube last night... I probably should have allowed myself to cool off before acting impulsively, especially since it seems they are unlimited mintage. Oh well... I think they're quite nice.

    Haven't been advised of a mintage limit in Australia. Got a shipping notice from the mint this week so expecting them in stock tomorrow or Monday.

    Spannermonkey swung by (!) today while I was filming this video and snaffled the top two coins out of the first tube - these coins fit perfectly in 1oz gold Kangaroo capsules.
