Does anyone know about how much these would cost? How much didn't they cost for the previous movies? I really want the optimus.

[griffin]

The last ones - Just under $100 each (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=4880).

UPDATE emailed to me from the Perth Mint...


Official movie coins celebrating Transformers: Dark of the Moon have been released by The Perth Mint.

Each coin is struck from 99.9% pure silver. The coloured coin designs portray Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Megatron. Just 5,000 of each design will be released worldwide accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Coins are available individually or as a Transformers Trio. Check out www.perthmint.com.au/transformers (http://www.perthmint.com.au/transformers)

Prices are up on that perth mint site, including quantity limits, and special 3-pack packaging for buying all three.

[griffin]

Just some advance warning - Perth Mint are going to be offering us (Ozformers) a set of three of these Coins to give away in a competition.
Still working out the details, but in case it is only a single week competition, I wanted to give people notice of the impending competition.

[Hursticon]

Wow!
That's some great news Griffin - Kudos to you and the Perth Mint. :)
