Perth Mint Upcoming releases

Optimus Coin
Megatron Coin
Bumblebee Coin

And for reference, to have an idea of what these new three will be like - they still have the 2009 Optimus & Megatron coins listed.

*Edit - Sorry guys, didn't even think to look in the Movie News forum as I avoid it like the plague.

Courtesy of TFW2005.com, the Perth Mint are producing a set of coins as they did for the ROTF movie:

PERTH MINT JUNE COIN RELEASES AVAILABLE FROM TUESDAY 7TH JUNE 2011:
Transformers – The Dark of The Moon Megatron, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee 1oz Silver Proof Coins.

*How is it that the North American fansites came to know this before us?

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

The last ones - Just under $100 each.

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

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

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.
