    Why no gold cooks Kooks?

    I've been wondering why... They would make an awesome semi-numi like pandas
    Guesses welcome :) (unless Bron wants to jump in hehe)

    Maybe a gold Swedish Chef? Or did you mean Kooks? :)

    Bron doesn't work in the coin department of the mint.

    LOL Phiber, you had me scratching my head for about a minute...

    I'm thinking, "Jamie Oliver", what's he got to do with gold?

    Then it dawned on me - you were talking about making Kookaburras in gold. Which I think would be an idea, but then to counter that, why not Silver Kangaroos? I think Perth Mint have "decided" the Kook is for Silver (ignoring Koala etc), and Kanga for Gold.

    I must need more coffee, or sleep, or both!

    They did use gold leave in the deserts in master chef.
    Going to be very expensive though.
    If they make gold cook they might have to remint them again. :p

    I'm always in the market for a MS79 platedpus, but they seem to be pretty hard to find...

    It could be related to how dense gold is! How would you expect him to fly?

    It's more to the tune of my father favourite line "if you have to ask how much, mean you can't afford it". He was one of the tightest person I know, and I am grateful for that. :D
