I haven't kept any actual noodling stats, but in Jul 07 I found a 1966 10C upset coin, 3 weeks later I found another one, and recently when I was going through a container of 10c errors, I came across a third that I don't even remember finding. I guess I've probably noodled many thousands of 10c coins, and to have found 2 in quick succession back in 07, and only one other since then indicates that noodling success is pure luck. If I went by my stats from 07 I should have a few dozen of them by now. I am currently noodling $200 of 10c, (chasing some 2011 10c)and am keeping stats, so will report my findings when I'm finished.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Good luck Nancy.
I have added some 10c to my normal 50c searching but have not found any yet.
I think I have been through about $200 of 10c so far.

Interesting stats Nancy - better you than me with those fiddly 10c coins.... I notice you found the 2011's are not common, and as the years go on they'll be even harder to find, methinks - maybe as scarce as 1985, if not more so. I'd found 4 2011's in my $100 bag. I've found a 1 o'clock upset 1966 10c in an earlier noodle |

The whole reason for the noodle was to snare some 2011's, so I suppose I achieved my goal. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Went to the coin dispenser in town today to try my luck at some 5 cent noodling. Have never tried this before. Thought I would "dip my big toe into the water" to try it  Made a request for 5 rolls - only $10. So cheap Put in a 50 dollar bill. I was hoping for some bills in my change to check for special serial numbers To my horror I found that the machine just kept issuing 5 cent rolls  . No bills  Just rolls and rolls of 5 cent coins, with two rolls of 10 cents thrown in and a few dollar coins   Leaving the bank with a bag full of loot I felt like  But I will go through the 18 rolls of 5 cent coins and 2 rolls of 10 cent coins and post the stats. Also any unusual finds. Sigh ... Squire |

I know Commbank has some coin dispenser machines, but when I enquired about using them some time ago I was told you need a business account with them.
Squire,
Sounds like you got more than you bargained for. I think you will be hooked when you find something good.
Good luck!

There are coin dispenser machines all over the Melbourne CBD. I visited one of these yesterday. If you are a customer with a particular bank, you can get a card to use these dispenser machines. I have found that getting a card does not cost you anything, there are no hidden fees or charges. I simply fronted up at a teller and asked. Once you have the card you simply go up to the dispenser machine, put the card in and you will then have a menu of the available coins (5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents .... $1, $2 etc)on the screen. The screen will show you what denominations are available. You push the buttons - I pushed the 5 cent button 5 times yesterday. Then you put in the money into the slot - ideally try using the correct change , in this case a 10 dollar bill. You will then receive 5 rolls of 5 cent coins which you can noodle at your leisure     . Also a receipt of the transaction. Squire |

Ok, I noodled through 13 rolls of the 5 cent coins last night. Tonight I will finish noodling through the remaining rolls. I will post the stats of my findings up soon afterwards. Actually, I do not like noodling 5 cent coins . The dates and features on these coins are tiny. After the session I had "tunnel vision"  and after-images of Queen Elizabeth playing croquet with curled-up echidna's Give me 20 cent, 50 cent and 1 dollar coins anyday Squire |

Thanks for the info on the dispensers Squire. Perhaps one year they will be around here. (Probably not enough coin traffic). Looking forward to the results.  |

Speaking of quick change machines, I went to a NAB today to do some noodling, just a tiny bit. I slapped in the card in the machine but for some reason wouldn't let me hit the continue button so I went inside and told the teller and asked for the coins I wanted. She asked if I had a business and I said no. She continued to get ticked and angrily got a bag out and slapped the rolls onto the counter like its illegal to get coins for ones self. Then asked for my quick change card back since I wasnt "supposed" to have it and she was gonna report to whoever gave it to me. So I grabbed the coins and kept my card and jetted outta there. I know where I'm never going again in melbourne...
