Had some good finds at the local shops - 1 x Green Remebrance $2 / 1x 2014 $1 Mob of Roos / 8x 100yrs ANZAC.
The fact that the edge of the plants seems not to have been disturbed by the depression around the edges definitely makes it seem like the error was at mint before the die struck the coin for the last time and not afterwards by a kid with a hammer and a round metal tube. I would definitely have it looked at.
Hear are some coin I have collected over the past few years that I have received in change from other country's Flip side of coins
I have finally found a red $2 poppy coin in my change late last week. But sadly, some of the red dye has "peeled off". I think some other bloggers here have had the same experience.
So rather than post everyday heres list of what I found in March (dont normally look at my change but decided to do a months to see). 3 x $2 green rememberance 2015 7 x $1 100 year of Anzacs 2015 5 x $1 world war peace 2003 2 x $1 Landcare Australia 1993 2 x $1 Sir Henry Parkes 1996 2 x $1 International Year of Older Persons 1999 1 x $1 Centenary of Federation 2001 1 x $1 Centenary of Scouting 2008 1 x $1 Sir Charles Kingsford Smith 1997 3 x 50c AIATSIS 2014 4 x 50c 2001 (interesting emblem design) 1 x 50c Commonwealth Games 1982 1 x 50c WW Remeberance 2005 1 x 50c Australian Volunteers 2003 1 x 50c Royal Visit 2000 1 x 50c Millenium 2000 If anyone collects these things send me a PM for an offer on the lot.
24 million minted if I recall correctly. Nothing too special but people might be hoarding them like the 1977 50c, which also had a late mintage but was (and is) hoarded
I have unc rolls of them for sale for a modest increase on face if your interested. check out my sale thread
Found a 1977 Swiss Franc coin in the receipt container of a Myki machine. Someone must have put it in and not taken it back when it was spat out.
Due to high mintage figures Circulated : no ( but good for the kids to understand what the coin symbolizes ) Uncirculated : yes Please note: people collect for different reasons, but if planning to make $$$ then maybe consider collecting some of the circulated varieties with a lower mintage. The following is a link to RAM mintage figures, hope it helps. http://www.ramint.gov.au/designs/ram-designs/1dollar.cfm
