Hi there been lurking for a while and following your progress. This is such a great hobby that I am hoping to start.

I had a quick question for some of you expert noodlers. Is there a place where you can see the image and mintages of each coin so you know what to look for.

I found information on the royal Australian mint website but noticed it was missing, possum magic, wiggles, Mr squiggle and some Olympic coins, all of which are in circulation.

The latest Renniks "Australian Coin & Banknotes Value" Book is just out,Pics.,Mintages & Values.A$40 well spent.

I usually use Macca's guide but it looks like he is not going to update it anymore.

Yes that used to me my go-to book as well. Seems he never envisioned the sheer number of commemorative coins that have come out over the last 5 years or so. The guide would be three times bigger than it used to be.

Day 81

All I found today was one of those slightly off-centre coins that some people claim are mules. This one is interesting in that it is off-centre on both sides:

Day 85

The exchange machine ran out of the other denominations I am noodling so I got a single roll of $2 to make up the short fall.

And by some kind of miracle I found a coin I was looking for.
