Remembrance Day $2

I have been collecting the Remembrance Day $2 out of circulation and was wondering if others were doing the same. Its a hard thing to do here in Tassie as we haven't had a coin delivery to the island for over 12 months, I am left relying on what people carry here in their pockets.
Only managed to score a dozen so far, anyone having more luck with them?
Does anybody know where to find them by the bag, are they still available?

Cheers Jon

 

I've been looking for them in my change in Sydney. Haven't seen a single one.

 

I have about 50. The girls from the coffee shop keep an eye out for them. Few and far between. About 3 mill in circulation. I'm debating going down to the coin shop and buying 10 50c pieces as I reckon in this dip the 50s will appreciate faster.

 

I was fortunate enough to score an unopened bag thanks to a very generous member.

So its no easier pickings in the big smoke then

I have a few people checking their change and I rat through a lot of cash registers as well

 

found 3 of 'em

 

I have 2 of them. I've found about ten since they've been out. Darn vending machines.

 

I've been to lots of smaller suburban bank branches and so far have only managed to find 2. Add 1 more someone gave me as a swap and have a grand total of 3.

Would also have loved a $50 sealed bag of them but it's highly unlikely to find any of them now.

They appear to be quite uncommon. Also had a 20c Canberra centenary coin which i unfortunately used and should have kept.

 

found another one yesterday so you still can find them theyre out there start looking

 

look at the 1935 florin some are a bit circulated but still everyone wants em

 

Rolls of unc are what to buy Jonno - and stash 'em for 5-10

 

Are they still making rolls? I thought they were all bagged now except for the occassional roll you can buy at the post office at collector prices.

I don't think circulated coins will go up much in value unless they discover a variety or something like that. I usually collect them and put them in a draw for a few years, if no one discovers a variety in that time I just keep one and spend the rest. There are collectors who spend hours comparing the coins but sometimes they miss it for a few years, I don't think the Incuse Millenium was discovered until a few years ago so it might be worth hanging onto them a bit longer but I hate to think what has happenned to the purchasing power of any coins you put to one side.

How much do they have to go up in value each year to negate inflation and eBay costs and still make a worthwhile profit?

The uncirculated are sold at such a massive premium it is a wonder anyone buys them.

I still search my change but throw back coins that I would have kept a few years ago, I have enough Capt Cooks now so I only keep the variety.

 

Colleague's wife works in NAB and got me 10 uncirculated $2 on the day of release

 

I've seen a few, but don't collect them. Are they worth anything (above $2)?

 

I just got an encapsulated uncirculated $2 remembrance coin thrown in as a free gift from a small Macquarie Mint purchase.

The uncoloured version that is.

 

God no. :lol:

It was a present (but looked it up on the website, as you do). At least it was silver so their brain is in the right place (even if they did pay double spot).

 

Goodaye Jon, there was a lot around in early Jan this year.

You might be lucky enough to get a bag or two, if you know a retailer. That's where I got mine from mate.

Just ask at the front desk of Woolies or Coles or even the local pub.

They'll come in bags of 25 coins.

Best of luck.

Haven't come across any of these for quite a while, looks like they have all been plucked from circulation.
