We’ve made the mistake of not putting their heads on a $1 coin before? I’m guessing because it’s legal tender and also not a decision made by the club. 

Good points ET. See my post below.

    Ironically, (if that were true) that would mean that in future, the relative scarcity of the GCS coins would make them worth more than the rest.  

    Scarcity AND demand LDC

    A bit like the AFL saying "limited seats available for the Sun's next match at HBS...get in fast".... but for some reason there's thousands left all going cheap!

    No Australian coin large enough for Charley's ears apparently

    It's not the coin value as the motive for purchase.

    Really some DLErs are off the mark. Historical objects and prices are not judged the same value of the purchase but a potential value or sentimental etc. which is different to different people. 

    Its so basic and critical to expect this novelty coin for a dollar really. If it was a dollar it wouldn't be worth buying!

    True but you'd kick yourself if you accidentally stuck it a parking meter.

    I've still got about 100 round 50 cent coins tucked away. I believe their silver content was circa 10 bucks last time I checked.

    That issue has been sorted.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m pretty sure that’s photoshopped.

    Doesn’t make much cents to me. 

    I don't think these coins will ever be worth much more than the $1 face value but some of the releases have sky rocketed.

    This ranks right up there with ‘Is more effective than the cloaca method’ as my favourite random sentence of the week on Demonland.

    Thanks HBT. It's certainly an award I like to get my hands on.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
