Coin shopping - 2019 Kangaroo - not impressed

I went coin shopping in Brisbane recently and I am seriously unimpressed with the 2019 kangaroo. The design is not great and it is really hard to read. Holding it in my hand it does nothing for me. Unlike the maples that I cannot seem to put down :)

I took a picture of it to post here, and it seems to photograph better than it is to look at. Very strange. I won't be buying anymore of these coins.

 
Both kanga and maples are shitty coins! Don't support poor production standard.
 
The more I read about the kangaroos the less I like them. Apparently I like pretty coins. :) I bought some 2011 maples and there is no milk spotting on them at all. They are in great condition. The kooks are all sitting here looking pretty in their plastic cases, but I keep picking up and playing with the maples.
 
I agree with you Grizzly. For a standard bullion coin it is very ordinary and ugly. When you compare it with say an Armenian Noah, Philharmoniker, American Silver Eagle or Maple ours is the worst. So very unappealing and they milk spot big time. Quite honestly, I think the Perth Mint should redesign into something nicer with a nice finish otherwise people will just stop buying them.
