    That one sells for 150-160 $. Even more expensive.

    Kook looks nice, but I still like the purplish Kangaroo. It's so surreal :D

    I have lost money on every coloured coin I purchased. As a gift they are alright as mentioned above.

    How 'bout Lunar Dragons' coloured series? Are they also a "waste of time and money" for the sake of collecting them, for future price potential?

    In German we call it 'Kitsch'.

    Why, Oh why, is it so hard for the mint(s) to keep producing nice coins. I mean why do they need to resort to Kitsch like that ?

    I don't get it, I admit.

    I like them, may be the patriotism coming out in me, but I like something a little different. 6000mintage is nothing. I collect because I like something,
    I invest in other silver types in the hope it will appreciate. God knows, every silver piece I own has depreciated since purchasing, so why not have something that you like looking at.

    Stupid idea for a coin.
