The British Public was in a situation for a short period when next years issues were actujally in circulation, ahead of the date on the coin. That happened in 1970, when Great Britain changed over to Decimal currency, and coins for 1971 were deliberately issued into circulation in early 1970. Haven't seen any 2016 coins in circulation in Australia yet; haven't got much time to go before "Auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind" !  Only a few days to go !

Found the 20 cents and 2 dollar coin today. Still looking for the 10, 50 and dollar coin. Isn't there a commemorative dollar coin and the color 2 dollar coin as well? Makes collecting so much harder...

Up to this point I have seen 5c, 20c, 50c, plain $1, plain $2 and red $2. I'm still waiting on the 10c (which has been seen in circulation by others), the ANZAC $1 (which may or may not be circulating yet) and the orange $2 (which I don't expect to find).
Have I missed any?

Quote: I'm still waiting on the ANZAC $1 (which may or may not be circulating yet) I assume that is the 100 years of ANZAC 2015 $1 coin. What is the story with them? The ones that are available on ebay say that they were only available from a pop up RAM shop. Will they be released into circulation?

Quote: I assume that is the 100 years of ANZAC 2015 $1 coin. Yes that's the one. So far the RAM swap is the only place they've been releases but it's possible they will be a regular circulating coin. I've seen someone say they got one in change but I think it's too early to tell yet.

Seems like the 20c and 50c pieces are pretty common now.

I have found the $2 Aboriginal Elder, $1 MOR and the 50c. Still yet to find the lower denominations. I think this is the first time I haven't been able to complete a set from circulation, in the year of release. Steve

2015 ANZAC Dollars have been reported in numbers in western suburbs of Melb, another lady got one in change from local ALDI in Victoria and both also said there were plenty more in the tills.

I have now found the $2, $1 MOR, 50c, 20c, 10c and 5c in circulation, but still to find the ANZAC $1. Redlock, I have put aside $2, $1 and 50c for you, but yet to find any more 20c, 10c and 5c. Steve
