2012 Circulated Coins

I have also seen a 2012 20 cent in Perth. Did not think it was an event to get my interest.

at the end of the year you normally get a few trickling through.
There are noticeably no MOR $1 or $2 coins found yet though.
BTW me old Mate you left a coin behind (20 cent bubble) I will post it to your home address

Finally found a 2012 20 cents. I find the finish surface to be really matte instead of the strong mirror-like surface that was done for the past few years.

There seem to be quite a few $2 Poppies floating around in Sydney.

My daughter's boyfriend got given 5 of them in one lot of change but unfortunately then proceeded to spend them!

I reckon people have held onto them. There was lots here in Adelaide for about a week or two now they are few and far between.

Ive only seen two poppy's so far. One in very nice condition and one so dirty it already looked 20 years old so that was spent. Only 2012 coin I havent found so far is $1 kangaroo. Did they make any? And also no coloured poppy's yet...besides the ones I've seen at Australia post.

Not yet I don't think.

I've seen lots of 2012 coins, all denominations. Eastern Melbourne suburbs. I saved a lot of Poppies, then got a bit over it. There seems to be an abundance of 2012 10 cent pieces in Melbourne.
It's also time for me to go through the money boxes at home: I put the $2 in one container, the $1's in another & all the silver in a final container. I need a counting machine.
Also, there was a post about 2011 10c & $1, I found one of each of these in the till today & that was just standard float.



I've come across some 1970's 50 cents lately...as for why? No idea. Could just be someone that had all these coins put aside & then thought f...it/effort & released them back into the pond? I wish I could answer that. I'll have to take a photo of the 1971 50 cent I got at the shop today in the till, I put it aside, but left it at the shop.
