I did see a post on the australian three-pence site about possibly finding these in change soon. Does that mean they release them into circulation before the anniversary? I find it a bit confusing that PNC release them early and then placed into circulation 4 months later. Go figure?

Perhaps they are releasing them early to maximise the chances of actually selling them all. When the coins start arriving in change some collectors might be less likely to buy a PNC just to get the coin.

Mark, you are spot on. What do these cost? $15 or $20? Regardless, I am not going to spend that much when I can get one for 20c. I only hope they continue with the roll revival at the RAM and issue them in rolls as well.

there is another thread on 2010 Coins in Circulation, which details the emergence of the Tax-20.
I got a few in Darwin around November, then I went on holidays. Got a few more in Melbourne. When my nephew understood that I was putting them aside, he got a dozen for me the next day.
As I travel around this great land, I frequently visit "The Golden Arches" - not for the food, but for the free WiFi; and the coffee's not bad. I find that I stand a far better chance of getting near-Unc coins in my change at Maccas than anywhere else. I wonder if anyone else has that impression ? Perhaps CCF-types don't fit that demographic ?

I have found that the Self Serve checkouts at my local Woolworths spits out massive amounts of UNC coins and notes. I watched them fill up one day and a container full of the UNC Tax20 went in... the majority of my UNC circulation coins and notes from from there.

Craig, one of my local Woolies kept on giving Unc $5. There was no queue behind me, so I put every $10 and $20 that I had, one at a time, through the machine, to get $5 in the change. I got fifteen consecutively numbered unc-$5 for my trouble ... and fifteen Mars Bars (the nearest item I could reach) ... and enough coins that I could barely keep my shorts up. Strike while the iron is hot !

I got a $100 sack from the NAB a few months ago. I still haven't got around to cracking the head/head rolls. I was just about to say, I'll wait for a rainy day. Sorry Queensland and Darwin :-)

PNC is a good one,the mint rolls are still available from dealers in OZ,there is a lot of security bags on ebay but they are not the best way to get them |

Thought I'd revisit an old topic -
Have noticed that these PNC's are becoming a lot more scarce. Anyone thinking their value might shoot up more than what may have been expected?
