Hi all. I am a keen stacker, bur also a mad metal detectorist. This month i will cash in my dirt money to fund my dragons. All the coins are circulated amd all are popped out of the earth. Is there any coins i should hold on to? The $1,20 cent and 50 cent are the ones with all the variations, some are pretty dirty, some are preserved well. Just interested to know if i should hoard any key dates or designs. Im a bit reluctant to see off the booty, but the dollar sinks and the dragon flies.
I have 3 x 2001 50 Cent coins with Coat of Arms Australia ACT Tasmania and 6 other 50 Cent designs ( but not Coat of Arms ) - started to pull them from circulation. and also 14 x $1 Coins all different designs. and 3 x 20 Cent pieces - diff designs
Funnily enough, I just got a 50 cent coat of arms in my change the other day and put it aside because I'd never seen one before. I looked it up and saw that there were 41,000,000 minted and put it back in my change jar thinking it was nothing. Were there different types of this 2001 and are they actually worth more than 50cents? Surprising to me if so with that mintage Cheers
The Australian cost of arms has 43 million issued, the various state coats of arms are between 2 and 3 million each.
haha i put some state coat of arms ones back into circulation the other day also cus I was sick of holding them.
