Hi everyone!

I was just wondering how many incuse flags everyone has in there collection? I have 7 myself and I was just wondering. Has an estimate been put on how many of these may be in circulation?

First time I've heard of this. Could you please post a picture of some for a non-Aussie such as myself?

I now have 2, both found this year. I don't know how to post a photo, but I'm sure someone else will do so.

I'll put a photo in tonight - I am off to the footy.
I have an Unc one and I will grab a photo of an ordinary one at the same time.
The difference is quite noticeable when the two are displayed

So the Aussies know what they are but don't have any and the Yanks don't have a clue. That's not fair! I'm gonna make up something that no one south of the Equator has ever heard of.

Ever heard of the estranho 27 cent piece minted in the highest regions of Death Valley....I didn't think so.

To our US friends, please be patient. Bluesfil wil post some cracking photos of the Incuse flag on the Aussie 2000 50¢ when he gets back from the footy. Have to get our priorities right here, you know Aussies are footy fanatics.

Until I actually held one of these, I couldn't see what all the fuss was about, but now I know. Bluesfil's photos are excellent and well worth waiting for, more so because he has an unc. Read a book, do a crossword & all will soon be revealed. Patience grasshopper.

Nancy, being an American I have no idea what a 'footy' is.
Please elaborate.

Thanks,

Sorry folks, 'footy' is Aussie slang for football.
It shouldn't be too long now & there'll be some lovely photos of Bluesfil's Incuse flag.

Sorry - just got home - I have done a quick scan , need to wait for a photo
Now - the centre portion of the cross in the flag is meant to be raised but there is a variety where the cross is incuse
Here is the reverse in question
Incuse-Flags!!

Here is detail crop shot of the area

Here is a normal one so you can compare. I am lucky enough to have one of the others as well.
