Someone here probably has a picture of the 2000 50c incuse variety which you are talking about, it is quite well shown and explained in Greg McDonald's 2012 coin guide. There are other wide date varities, mistrikes, Cud errors which others may know more about but it's not my area of collecting. I can't believe you get to do that as a job  , I've thought of noodling before (just because I enjoy looking at coins), question for others though, if you ask for $200 worth of 20c coins (do you need to ask your bank ahead of time) and also how do you return them (do you need to roll them or does the bank just weigh the bag). |

its always a great idea just to call ahead for large orders...especially if you have a small non metro area bank. But I know that we have a coin counting machine and there is no need to roll at all!

But my job definitely has its benefits...given that most of my collection was picked up on face value

Sorry forgot to mention, McDonalds has this at $160 for Unc and 200 in Choice,
The one above is in fair good condition, lots of original shine and no large marks but many bag marks are present.

Oh whoops sorry, The St George Cross, is different in the two coins, the incluse version is dug into the flag, while the normal just has the outline of the cross, have a look here for more detail http://www.australian-threepence.co...variety.htmlbasically they are a fairly rare error, 200,000 minted they reckon, but hard to find in Unc. |

Lucky bugger  I get to handle a lot of Gold in the work I do, but it is only gold. You have the opertunity to get pre decimal silver coins and the rarer decimal coins for the cost of the coin eg 5,10.20.50 cents ect, A noodlers dream. Good on Ya  |

Thanks Trout! I think the notes are probably more exciting for me though as there are alot more floating around where I work.
Is there anywhere on the net that shows which signatures are better than others on decimal notes?

 best advice is get a book by either Greg McDonald or Renniks and have a look because there's just way to many coins and notes to list them all sorry. And if you have a book you can keep it in your car and read at lunch and refer back to from time to time..only down fall is you have to get a new book from time to time, but lots of hint and things to look out for so that's why I like to combine the books and CCF as some things aren't in the books but the ccf team will help in many ways Sorry I couldn't be of more help |

I'm going to sleep I think I feel like an idiot.
