The snake looks icky, they should stick to roos and kola bears.

 

yeah - I'm not a fan of those.

 

That is not pleasing to the eye.

 

The same coin painted three different ways. What a cheap way to get collectors to buy more coins to complete their sets... :rollling:

 

I just simply hate the coin/medal/token

 

I do like Australia's dragon and tiger lunar calendar coins.

 

They could always get ZZ Top to sing 'em up.

 

Is not Australia famous for its poisonous snakes?

 

With how many different colors they painted the dragons I can see them coming out with even more 'exclusively rare' different colored snakes.

 

One for each Olympic Nation, with multiple color arraignments.
