    My British mate @GoldDiggerDave Dave sent through a lot of goodies I have buying in the uk.
    I think my favorite is the 2016 Butler sovereign although it’s nice to bring the two 1907 Sydney sovereigns back to Aus. 
    Don’t be deceived by the size of the Panda photo, it’s a 1/20th oz and so it’s actually tiny!

    Latest additions through the post. First of the 2023 Britannias have arrived along with the last 2022 sovereigns to fill the tube. Also you can never go wrong with mini beasts.

    MickB reacted to Darr3nG in Did you know... Royal Mint Bullion?   
    Just found out (very expensively) that using a credit card to buy from the Bullion section of the Royal Mint, triggers a Cash Advance Fee (at least with HSBC - 2.99%)! Ouch!
    According to the Royal Mint, "Unfortunately, we do not currently accept payments by credit card." But, they do and it is processed as a cash-equivalent transaction...  
    I only used the CC for the rewards cash-back, but I've been double-hit. Ah well, lesson learned!

    Shame the Chinese didn't make theirs 25 gram so you could stack an exact kilo of coins if they prefer metric weights.
    I might be developing ocd now!

    This isn’t so much a ‘today I received’ post but more a ‘today (yesterday) I saw’ post.
    I spotted it in Aldi and thought of everyone here.

    Today these 2023 lol (last of Lizzie) Britannia's arrived. I had to double check the tube of 1/10oz Brits as I thought they were 5p pieces. The 1oz are typical poor bullion standard from the Royal Mint with small scratches to her face on both of them.

    My tube of quarters arrived today - i say tube but unfortunately the end was off so i received 20 shiny little loose coins and an empty tube. I suppose the cost of a bit of tape to secure the lid was beyond the RM. Ironic really seeing as the tube was thrown placed in an envelope which was then placed in a box surrounded by packing paper.
    I haven't yet decided if it's pure incompetence or deliberate disdain. I'm edging to the latter.

    Do you think they are just trying to rationalise the range? Having 15, 20 and 25 in tubes, is simpler than 16, 19 & 25.

    Its possibly the Quality Street trick? Reduce the size of the tin and keep the price the same, rather than leaving it the same and increasing the price
