These are all going back to the bank minus a few I needed for my sets so I can spent the money on "real" silver.
If anyone needs any of these let me know before I put them back in the pond tomorrow

I proposed something similar recently.
I wanted to work out the rate that coins disappear from circulation by comparing numbers of coins found in circulation with the mintage figures.
The only trouble its that I think it would need a lot of data to get a good conclusion.
I think you would need to get a fair number of the rarer coins so you know you have a statistically significant sample.
Maybe 20 1972 5c would mean a good sample of coins....

You are correct ozcoins. I am going to give it a go for a few weeks to try and get as many as possible, otherwise it would bebpretty dodgy stats. I think I can do about $800 a week of varied denominations and each little bit others add will help.

I love the idea. I base a lot of my theoretical notes stats on the 2011 Vort Report...good old Mick Vort-Ronald. The most recent report (2011) actually used 5,000 notes of each denomination. It's amazing what stats are coming back.

But with coins, that'll be even more interesting.

After I sent an email to Mick Vort-Ronald, he actually replied that it prompted him to go back through his surveys from 1993 to 2011 and compile a detailed article for CAB summarizing all of the percentages of signatures in all denominations, hopefully to be in the April issue.

Maybe we can speak to Fred Lever to see if he can get something in the CAB regarding your efforts. I could take some time in the next couple of weeks at work when I've got a moment.

I think many more coins need to be sorted before I can get an accurate picture of whats out there. I'm hoping for $1000-1500 of 5c and about $5000 of 20c. Those two are my favourite decimals so I'm concentrating on them first. Back at uni thiis week as well which will slow down noodling efforts so we'll see how it goes.
