I believe you get free delivery if you have Vatican Prime™.

Best thing to do for any of these "potential subscription" services is to use a prepay card or a virtual card. Only can be charged once

That's like saying I can get a car for free, just pay 30k for delivery. Classic marketing trick.

Interesting. From https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=74543202&postcount=97 it seems the company is illegally using the harp symbol. I wonder if they're allowed to use it on their gold coins that they are selling?

The Dublin Mint is a company that seems to be legal but I see many posts linking them to "alleged" fraud. However, it seems that only the advertising board of Ireland has challenged them for misleading ads.

A search of the Irish companies registry office shows they are registered, with address c/o, www.osk.ie. A screen grab from their web page is:

===================

Advising Irish Business
OSK are recognised as one of Ireland’s leading audit and accounting firms providing quality and professional business advice to Irish businesses including SMEs, multi-national groups, government bodies and sole traders since 1985.

OSK offer expertise in audit and accounting services, business advisory, accountants for contractors, small business support, taxation, payroll, bookkeeping and management accounting. Contact OSK today to find out more about our professional accounting services.

===================

An auditing & accounting firm seems to be their registered business address - strange.

My advice - Stay away from this "Free" offer. I recall an eye beauty product that sounds very similar to this that was discussed at length on the Joe Duffy show.

They were using the Brian Boru harp in their logo. They ceased as some boards users pointed out that this is reserved for government departments and offices. You can see the old logo here https://web.archive.org/web/20110618042429/http://www.dublinmintoffice.ie:80/

Everything about them is questionable, I can’t believe they continue to operate and exploit people.

They even duped boards into allowing them have an official presence here.

What really annoys me this time around is that Breast Cancer Ireland now seem to be caught up with them. https://www.2pink.ie I wonder how much do Breast Cancer Ireland actually get and do Dublin Mint Office continue to send out coins and charge people who have signed up to help Breast Cancer Ireland?
