Why didn't the RAM put that reverse onto a normal circulating coin. I like it.

But to purchase one, another triangular coin, not for me.

Agreed about the design, the Queen is looking old, not very flattering.

True coins are round shape ... just like True banknotes are rectangular
Triangle ... more mint garbage

10,000 is a bit much, but I'm sure it will be a sell out.

Yeah.

I can think of lots wrong with NCLT, but shape has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of coins in the world that aren't round, including, wait for it... our very own 50¢! Tongue

Well to some of us shape does have something to do with it, don't like triangles, plain and simple.

Well, neither do I, TBH. I think its a gimmick. But that doesn't make it any less a valid coin... Angel
