In Melbourne.  I have seen: Plain 10c Plain 20c Plain 50c Plain $1 Changeover 5c Changeover 10c Changeover 20c Changeover 50c I think Changeover $1 and $2 coins seem to be rare. I haven't seen them yet!  Changeover 5c and 10c coins are rare either.  Changeover 20c and 50c coins seem to be pretty common. John

It will be interesting to see what the mintage figures end up as for the changeover coins. It takes forever to get the numbers from RAM though

In Adelaide I have now seen at least one of each type except for the 2016 ANZAC and 50th Anniversary dollars.

I got my first 2016 ANZAC $1 in change the other day and it was fresh out of a mint bag.  That went straight into the collection

At the rate they're appearing, I don't think I'll live long enough to see all the 2016 Circulating coins in Qld.  . This is my tally so far: 5c Normal.. 0 10c Normal.. 2 20c Normal.. 0 50c Normal.. 1 $1 Normal.. 8 $2 Normal.. 4 5c C'over.. 0 10c C'over.. 0 20c C'over.. 0 50c C'over.. 2 $1 C'over.. 0 $2 C'over.. 0

Plain 10c and 20c seem to be common enough for me now. Excluding coloured $2 coins the only ones I haven't found are the plain 5c, the ANZAC $1 and the Changeover $1.

Must be because I'm so close to the NSW border, living on the Gold Coast, because the only 2016 coin that I haven't come across as yet is the 5c normal. Only today I received one 10c and two 20c normals in my change.

I got a plain 5c today. Just the ANZAC dollar and changeover dollar left.

I got two ANZAC $1 coins today - most unexpected. Still haven't seen a 2015 ANZAC $1 yet though.

It has been an interesting year! I've been checking my change and found a banged up 2015 ANZAC dollar coin. Still my first so it's a challenge. RAM site states that only 1.3 million has been struck so it's a really small mintage. Who knows, the numbers might be adjusted slightly next year. I'm not even sure if I managed to assemble all of 2015 coins.
I haven't had much luck this year and funny enough it's my friends that had much better luck in other states that helped me. Mind you - I couldn't even find any colored 2 dollar coin for a while other than the Paralympics and 2014 Remembrance day
Current score
Plain 5c - 1 10 c - 0 20 c - 2 (both banged up) 50 c - 0 1 d - 0 2 d - 2
2016 ANZAC - 0
Change over 5 c - 0 10 c - 2 20 c - 2 50 c - 5 1 d - 0 2 d - 2
Olympics - got all 6 of them (I had no luck finding them on my own)

Every time I ordered something from RAM this year I got them to throw in whatever of the changeover coins were available at the time in with the orders. I ended up with quite a few of the different little "Baggies" by doing this and have at least 4 sets of the bags in the different denominations and quite a few extra bags of the $1 and $2 coins. So far I have only come across a couple of the 50c changeover coins from the "Wild" so I am pretty happy that I managed to get quite a few of the nice uncirculated coins at face value by adding them to my orders

I have found a grand total of 5 C'over coins, 4 x 50c, 1 x $2.
Regular 2016 coin numbers are a bit better, however some of the 50c - 5c (in brackets) were sent to me by my sister in Newcastle:
$2 x 9 $1 x 11 50c x 5 (3) 20c x 3 (3) 10c x 3 (2) 5c x 2 (1)

Based on what I've been finding over the last couple of months, I reckon the Standard 2016 coins are going to have much higher mintages than their 2015 equivalents, with the likely exception of the 50c.
