Yes it's worth having that beefy silver dragon in the collection. I don't like the colouration, but it is the year of the wood dragon this lunar cycle, so perhaps that informed the colour choice. And the colour always highlights detail on the relief.
No offense, I do enjoy your videos and you would have mistakenly muspoken. But it's Tasmanian devils who's range is restricted to Tasie, wombats are found up and down the Eastern side of Australia. Maybe there's none in WA, like there are also no platypus there apparently. Queensland has its own species of wombat which is endangered, but they also have the normal one. So that two species on the eastern side. Anyway, on with the video (for me).
he's not wrong to say they're more abundantly found in tassie than the mainland if that's what he meant, you practically trip over them there compared to victoria
Yes, you're right - I was thinking of Tassie Devils - also my only experience of seeing a wombat was in Tassie. Correct - there are no wombats in WA, or Koala's!
@@silverkev1705 oh that's right, no koalas too!! Well you get quokkas and karri tress to make up for it. It does make you wonder how long the two coasts have been disconnected by desert and if some great disaster befell the Western half, wiping out it's native fauna, like the wombats, which one would think during wetter climbs, would have wandered all over our continent
@@dleetr Yes, there would have been many factors. Another that I wonder about is the fact that there is no soil (organic material mixed with clay) in most parts of WA, including the areas surrounding Perth. It is pure sand - we are built on a beach at the edge of a desert!
To all that sand, the prevailing theory is that the south western coast of Australia experienced a mega tsunami. It's interesting that the rest of the land has been scoured of its topsoil though, leaving only a clay layer. Or the clay was oceanic deposit. Who knows, something very big clearly happened relatively recently because fauna like wombats would have wandered back during the coller, wetter ice ages. And we lost all the mega fauna at the same time. Aborigines have paintings of plasma events in the sky, which match rock art from around the world. And they speak to a massive upheaval of the landscape with new rivers and mountains formed.
Great video Kev , thanks for showing the latest coins from Perth mint 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing 👋👋
@@smartfizi Welcome
That kilo Dragon is amazing
Lots of beautiful stuff
Thanks - more to come.
An interesting Collection
The next superpit should be an overhead view of the whole mine with the town on the side, which would look quite interesting
Agreed

It certainly lifts the image and makes you appreciate the design more.
How do I receive those booklets in USA?
They have a subscription service. I'll clarify tomorrow whether they send overseas.
Is there another mint anywhere in the world that churns out as many coins as the Perth mint
@@VictorHHH7 The US mint, using blanks supplied by the Perth Mint and others.
So I guess Newmont has bought up Boddington mine? Wish I'd bought Newmont earlier this year when it was $33 a share (now $57).
I think that's correct. Don't we all!
Дякую,прекрасний огляд новинок.Дивлюся вас з України. Миру вам.
Thank you. And to you also.
