    Anyone know what year the mint changed from square to round capsules for the gold Nugget / Kangaroo bullion coins? I've got a 1990 1/4oz in a square capsule - what was the first year round capsules were used for bullion?

    I think proofs have always been in round capsules - I've got 1986 proof Nuggets in round capsules.

    Anyone? Just saw a 1993 1oz Kangaroo in square capsule - anyone got 1994 to advise whether it was square or round?

    I have a 1999 1/4 Roo in a square capsule. Purchased it from the mint myself.

    Sure about the Kooks? I've got a bunch of 1998 Kookaburras in round capsules - but they could have been re-capsuled.
