The price will rise pretty quickly, don't worry!

It's a reproduction of the original. A similar thing was done with the coins listed below.

Mintage figures for these reproductions are limited to 2000, supposedly Commissioned by a Russian Dealer, but still minted at the Perth Mint.

Some people who missed out on the original will buy a reproduction and usually pay a mighty high price for it too.

1933 GB Pennies are extremely rare!

No pics for me either!  Last night I thought it was just me, but I see now it's across the board. 

Goose, Try reading the final paragraph in this link:

Haven't seen any at all in Brisbane!    Scarce as hen's teeth!   

2009 5¢ are becoming more common though. 

Which coins are you missing?  I'm sure we should be able to come up with the ones you need. 

An idea to help you avoid paying the import fees your country imposes, if anyone here can assist with supplying the 4 coins you need, PM them the address of your friend in the US, coins get sent to the friend who I believe will be visiting you later this year, and hopefully no import fees involved!

Special Air Services. 

They've been a long awaited coin, Steve.  I've managed to get 5 in the last 10 days, all through the till at the shop.

I'm so pleased they arrived safely!  I know you sometimes have problems receiving coins in the mail.

The concept was an "old" and a "new" 50¢ coin.  1966 was our first, the 2010 is the latest available. 

I have a friend in NSW who is sending me some 2010 P'pus 20¢ and 2010 COA 50¢ soon. Apparently they're starting to show up down south. 

Still no sign of any OZ 2009 5¢ in Brisbane though. 

Hey, that's good news, something new to look for finally.

Oh well, I guess we can forgive you this time.  It seems like you have a valid excuse. 

I thought you were going to do a tad of self flagellation with a Cat o' Nine Tails.
