How do you return your noodled $1 and $2 coins if not through the coin deposit machine MMM ?

I bag them up and take them to a bank that doesn't have a coin deposit machine. The tellers just weigh them. At least then I know I'm not going to be short-changed.

These must have been sitting around at the bank for some time as there wasn't a single coin dated after 2017 amongst them. Quite an enjoyable noodle without all the 2022 coins which I've been drowning in lately.
Very nice!

Unfortunately none of those 2016 olympics or 2017 possum magic coins are the ones I'm still looking for.

Day 232

It's official, $2 are my least favourite coins to noodle. After visiting 4 different exchange machines I could only get a total of 6 rolls.

This is all I found:

Total number of two dollar coins noodled: 21100
Number of different coins found: 84
Number of coins still to find: 4

Noodled $1000 worth of $2 coins. Once again almost half were 2022 aboriginal elders. Should have got another 10,000 ten cent coins instead.

Nice finds!

Just out of complete curiosity, did you noodle that from a local branch (that is, one you visit the most frequently) or did you travel a bit further to another branch and found that?

I go there pretty often on the way home from work but lately the coin exchange machine there has been empty (except for 10c and 5c) so luckily I got a decent amount of rolls for once.

Not Strathpine by any chance. I stopped by yesterday to get some 20c and $1 and they were both empty!

Strathpine, that's the north side. No I don't do any noodling around there.

Day 242

Another 24 rolls of two dollar coins noodled but didn't find anything I was looking for.

Most interesting find was this 2000 coin with a rim Cud (I'm pretty sure I found and posted another 2000 two dollar coin with the exact same rim Cud earlier in this thread).
