What do you think about NZ mint after its 'successful' design change in the popular white shark coin? My image of NZ mint was a decent little one draw a number of audiences for its occasional impressive design and fancy packaging, but wouldn't sell. Even that piece of positive image collapsed recently when I saw the ugly change on the white shark. It reminds me an opposite case, Opal series by Perth mint. How to combine opal with the animal images might not be a smooth path. So the design team worked hard through trial and error until they were able to release the successful end product. Well, RCM was not so successful on its recent glow in the dark series. But at least they produced some as per design. Look at NZ mint! They posted such elegant image probably done by photoshop a year before its release and sent their sales team out everywhere for marketing. What was their design team doing by then? I guess they simply believed punching the coin would be the easiest step and they never did any test before until the deadline approaching? I just CAN NOT believe it. I cannot believe they finally changed the fierce teeth mark to that by a shark wearing denturesNow I understand why their product wouldn't sell...and I feel shame on you!
