Noodling... In Hospital!?!

Unwanted fifties? The horror! I find it hard to release any back into the wild...
They will probably either be used as ozcoins suggests or go into the kids pocket money supply chain.
Yes, I am aware of both of these other meanings for noodling, and I am sure they both predeede our use of the term here at CCF. I wonder who among us first used the term in it's coin related sense?

steve, steve, steve what are we to do with you ROF..get ya off those good drugs to start, PRE doesn't mean include the 80's it means anything from the 60's to 79..I haven't say they have TAKEN them all from circulation, I have said that they are slowly taking them, so get them while you can..big difference mate.

You should thank your lucky stars you found somewhere that doesn't have a turn over of coins let alone a high turn over 'cause you'll find out we're telling the truth when you get back to the real world. So make sure you get them all before you go home.

Not only are they being taken out of circulation but I just found out the banks are now saying due to the NEW laws(bought in a month ago apparently) they can't give out money with out ID as big brother needs to know who's doin what, where and when..YES that is right..right from the comm horses mouth yesterday.

Went to get some coinage, a hole $25 is all I wanted to change and I was told due to the new anti-laundrying laws they couldn't help..so go figure. And the next that says it will get a serve eg "so how long do you think it will take me to launder the 1.5million at $25 a hit..what a joke our country is..nanny nation gone mad..what happened to my once great nation '~'

But I did manage to sweet talk the very nice people from NAB. So steve this is what I got yesterday
5 cent (7 yes 7 pre 80's)

1x 66,68/ 2x 76,77 and 1x 79

1x 80/ 2x 81/ 1x 82/ 3x 83/ 1x 84/ 2x 87/ 2x 88/ 2x89

1x90/ 1x 93/ 4x 94/ 3x 95/ 2x 96/ 4x 98/ 5x 99/ 1x 00/ 7x 01/ 5x 02/ 3x 03/ 3x 04/ 7x 06/ 2x 07/ 15x 08/ 3x 09/ 2x 10 and one that you can just tell that it's a coin, LOL.
So to shorten this up I'll just put the
10 cents
3x 60&70's
47 over the 80 mark

20 cent
5x 60&70's
44x over 80's and 1 kiwi

50 cent
2x 60&70's
18x over 80's

sorry about the rant but I'm over this suckhole county..I've seen it when it was good but now we have a bunch of idiots running the joint that wouldn't know their head from their you know what. And for the ladies..why would you vote for someone that's holding you girls back, eg why wouldn't you allow the FIRST female speaker of the house under your watch. Unless your own political asperations are higher than anything else..including the good of the country..I just don't get it sorry. Rant over have a good day people..and as laws says..be good to your selves and each other

She's all good steve, I hear ya and ditto, I didn't know what to say. I was just totally gob smacked. Sorry didn't mean to go off but I'm like you and getting really sick of all the PC bull and just so glad I'm not the lone soldier :) keep up the good work and I know all about the drugs mate, because the chances are I'll never get off them..very long and depressing story :( But I'm still here and that's what matters :) I'd like to have a chat with you one day..could be interesting hehehehe

Take care cobba hope it all works out for ya

Ausjack.
I could be wrong, but I think you just got a teller who did not want to help you and blaming "the government" was an easy excuse.
I regularly change notes for coins without showing any form of ID and have never been told anything like that.
I thought the whole point of laundering money was to take ill gotten gains and somehow try to show that it came from a legitimate source. I can not see how changing notes for coins (with or without id) would be useful to launder money.
edit: fixed a few typos

This site used to be my oasis from all the one eyed party political nonsense.

I would like to say though Ausjack that your claim about the anti-laundering laws is completely untrue, or the teller was having a lend of you.

Over the past 3 weeks I have been getting $20 - $30 of coin each day from the Banks and I have not once been asked for ID.

I've been asked for ID and/or a contact number on and off for years. It depends on the bank you go too! Westpac and NAB seem to be the main ones in my area.

Ausjack you really are a character . It helps brighten up the place.

1. Anti money laundering has been around for years. I got training on it when I was a Bank teller in the 80s. Back then it applied to cash transactions over $10,000. It doesn't apply to $25 worth of coin. The teller was having a lend of you.

2. I'm not infringing anyone's freedom of speech. I'm merely pointing out that this is a coin site.

3. It is simply not practical to have specific coin years taken out of circulation. I visited the RAM recently and there was no sign of a "noodle room" where workers checked each coin to see what year it was minted.

No offence Ausjack but I find some of your conspiracy theories pretty way out.
