NEW AC/DC coin set

We are grateful to offer the AC/DC coin set now at www.mintcoinshop.com.au. This AC/DC coin set from the Royal Australian Mint is celebrating 50 years of Australian rock band and music legends, AC/DC. One of the greatest rock bands in the world, AC/DC continue to thrill fans with their powerful, energetic and guitar-heavy music, with their 2020 album reaching number one in 21 countries.

What a treat to give this as a gift or buy for yourself as an AC/DC fan or as a collector of coins and coin sets.

Each coin design in the 2022/2023 AC/DC coin set is inspired by AC/DC albums commemorating upcoming anniversaries, including:

  • 45th anniversary of Let There Be Rock (1977)
  • 45th anniversary of Powerage (1978) in 2023
  • 40th anniversary of Flick of the Switch (1983) in 2023

  • 15th anniversary of Black Ice (2008) in 2023

The coins themselves present in an album cover, inside of which is a coin in a vinyl sleeve. They’re all made to resemble a vinyl album, featuring either the band’s logo or a musical reminder of their many classic albums.

There is one album cover of  Angus Young in his famous schoolboy attire – absolutely stunning. What a gift for an AC/DC fan.

The set of albums / coins come in a box that resembles a roadie’s concert case. Christmas really is sorted for the hard rock fan in your life.

We are grateful to offer this gift set, something to treasure for an AC/DC fan and also for any coin collector. What a treat to reminisce about they awesome Aussie band that took the world stage by storm. Truly fantastic.

We ship our mint coins and coin sets from hawthorn daily. All orders are online. Some products are quantity restricted because of limited quantities made available. we do this out of fairness.

Retail management advice for newsagents on lease negotiation

Major shopping centres looked appealing for years. All that foot traffic. The bright and shiny look. Being there was appealing to retailers, especially small business retailers, including retail newsagents.

Every shopping centre had a newsagency, often two, some even had three.

The Covid hit in 2020, and traffic to major centres crashed. It’s coming back, but it’s not where it used to be, in most centres traffic is yet to reach 2019 levels.

With good space availability, leasing execs are doing the rounds, seeking to fill spaces. In some cases they are cutting deals, while in others the occupancy cost is as high as ever.

My advice to anyone, newsagents and other local small business indie retailers. negotiating for space in a major shopping centre is: negotiate as if you have a better deal elsewhere. Don’t rely on it. Don’t visualise that centre as the only location for you. Have a viable plan ‘B’ and even a plan ‘C’. And, only agree to what you are 100% happy with.

Too often I see retailers agree to leases because of the appeal of bright shiny lights and what appears to be good foot traffic, only to rue the decisions for years.

By having viable and appealing options you allow yourself to have a more circumspect off the major centre leasing exec pitchy and that works in your favour.

I know there are people in our Aussie newsagency channel who say they get the best deals. It’s one thing to claim this and another entirely to prove it.

Ask for the evidence.

In one situation I heard about recently when the retailer asked for evidence of deals a party claimed they had achieved the response was oh, privacy. That’s a crock in my view. If you claim you can get an awesome deal, prove it … otherwise, it remains marketing spin not backed by evidence.

You are in your lease situation for 5 years at least usually. That’s a long time to be locked into something which with you are dissatisfied or unhappy. It is why you need to research carefully, to be sure you will be happy. It’s why you need to have options so you can compare before you sign anything.

If you are not happy with the lease, don’t sign it. It is better to walk away from a deal you done;t like than spending 5 years fighting chasing a hope or dream and losing money along the way.

One tip for those considering a shopping centre situation, have a plan ‘B’ option that is outside the centre and it is this different situation comparison that could be particularly helpful in landing at a decision. The two settings are physically and location different, they are usually financially different, too. This is what it is good for you to have the option with which you can compare. I have done this myself and pivoted to outside of shopping centre retail – less stress, lower occupancy cost and higher profit from sales = better business value.
