Wow, that's really neat -- both the coin shape as well as the reverse.

Although i love the Great White Shark more than a Kangroo, but this is Very nice
 
Thanks for the info

This is NOT fair! The Aussie government mints keep coming up with Roos that are killing my wallet!!! Please make them stop!!!

[Tobyle]

RAM will start on the Landcare $1 series in May (follow on from the Coloured Ocean series). No Roos in the first 2 releases, but going from the 1st 2 that will be released, I'd imagine there will be another Roo there somewhere in the series.

They are running 3 months later then Monnaie de Paris who has been churning out rectangular silver and gold this year at too high prices

in 2007 Monnaie de Paris had 81 new items
one was a silver Degas at a nonstandard 0.46 ounces and like 75 dollars an ounce price
amazingly this in my opinion overpriced and ugle square coin is sold out
They say this is the first square coin they made
