Hey Friend

I just wanted to give you a couple of updates.

Firstly, great news - the Royal Australian Mint (RAM) released their 2025 Annual Report a couple of weeks ago, and that gave us details about the coin mintages for 2024 and the start of 2025.

This in turn allowed us to complete the new Pirate Guide, and we're just waiting to receive it from the printers.

Thank you again for your order and I'm sorry for the hold-up - the paperback books were delayed but we'll be posting your book within the next week once we receive it from our printer. We'll email tracking details once it's in the post.

Secondly, your new 'Pirate Guide to Collecting Australian Coins' ebook is ready! This email with give you details on how to access your new ebook (plus some tips on getting the most from it).

Part 3 - Tips for using your Pirate Guide ebook.

There are five files in total:
File 1 = Introduction and information about coins
File 2 = Two Dollars
File 3 = One Dollar
File 4 = Fifty Cents
File 5 = has multiple denominations from Twenty Cents through to One Cent.

Each file includes a cover-photo showing the denomination(s) it relates to.

Whenever you see "Note X.X" next to a coin, you can click on it and there is a hyperlinks that will take you to that specific note with more information about the coin.

At the top of each file, you'll find a summary of the notes from file 1 (so that you don't have to keep switching between files). For more information about those items, see the more detailed notes in File 1.

The coin images are designed so that you can zoom in and see all the details on the coins.
