syzygy Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21...48-2761,00.html A new milestone in gimmickry? I went to see if I could dig up a decent pic of the coin and found this on the Perth site Link Unfortunately, these look like prepped images. How long before we have actual commercials on coins?

banivechi Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Anyway this Australian coin is more eye-catching like another Tv celebration coin: the German 10 Euro 2002: http://www.bundesbank.de/bargeld/bargeld_s..._10euro2002.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabbs Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Anyway this Australian coin is more eye-catching like another Tv celebration coin: the German 10 Euro 2002 Hehe, that German one is the dullest commem from DE indeed. These "50 years of television" coins seem to be popular though: Italy had a neat one in 2004 http://www.honscha.de/bilder/it04g.jpg and Austria issued a niobium TV piece in 2005 http://www.honscha.de/bilder/25a05g.jpg ...
