I found a 2022 MOR dollar too. Well dinged up.

2020 dollar isn't easy to find! Have not seen a 2021 MOR yet. Plenty of donation dollars floating around (both 2020 and 2021)

I've seen four 2020 dollar coins in the last few weeks - they're out there by the looks of it.

Day 327

If anyone has been wondering what happened to this thread, I have still been noodling but from now on I will probably only be providing updates when I have actually found a coin I'm looking for.

So I am pleased to say I have finally found the red "Happy Hush" coin (yes the possum's name is Hush and for some reason he is happy), thus completing the 2017 Possum Magic $2 series:

The-Big-Noodle:-Noodling-A-Complete-Set-Of-Circulating-Australian-Decimal-Coins-From-Scratch

edit: Apparently Hush is a young female possum and she is happy because she is visible again.


Quote:
The Possum Magic Book was first published in 1983 and is a whimsical picture book written by Mem Fox about two possums, Grandma Poss and Baby Hush, and their travels around Australia sampling food in their quest to make Hush visible again after she was made invisible by the magic of Grandma Poss.


No progress on the $1 front.

But much better than finding that darn 2019 W coin I snagged another mule dollar.

The-Big-Noodle:-Noodling-A-Complete-Set-Of-Circulating-Australian-Decimal-Coins-From-Scratch

Yes thats 2 mule dollars and 0 Weetbix dollars.

The-Big-Noodle:-Noodling-A-Complete-Set-Of-Circulating-Australian-Decimal-Coins-From-Scratch

Coins still to find:
1966 silver 50c
2019 W for Weetbix $1
2015 red ANZAC $2
2020 firefighters $2
2021 MOR $1
2022 10c

(There is no real evidence that those last 2 coins are actually in circulation yet)

Well done on the mule find.
You will have to get another 2 x $1 coins from circulation in May as Australia Post are releasing an AFL set with 2 coins for circulation.
These coins will have the commemorative obverse.
