    Another green remembrance one at the pub, my partner said she got one and spent it, is there any point holding onto them?? Is it worth going to bank and buying heaps of rolls to get a full one?

    Normally have no interest in these things

    yeah its worth it. You wont lose money put it that way. Would be tough to get a full roll from the bank though.

    Poppy is red, sometimes.
    Coronation is purple.
    Centenary is green.

    i am stoked. I got two green centenary $2 coins this week. I got one from the local servo, and one today from my local corner shop. The guy at the counter shop looked at the coin puzzled while giving me the coin. I kept quiet so he can give me that coin. lol.

    The green sticks out a fair bit, much more than the purple coronation coin
