Well done. Not seen any in Perth yet, although I believe others have found them.

3M ... something's telling me you might wanna drop the dino coins from your list.

Yes, I know they're like the A-Z coins and aren't meant for circulation, but I think you're making it harder for yourself. Just some advice.

amateurrollcoins, I'm pretty sure the A-Z coins and the dinosaur coins are all circulation coins. They just made their way into circulation from the Post Office. Of course, I have been wrong before.

Day 182

Noodled 18 rolls of dollar coins. Still finding a trickle of letter coins but not the 2019 Weetbix that I'm after.

You can easily spot donation dollars whichever side of the coin you first look at because unlike normal dollar coins the denomination is on the obverse. Found another four 2021 DDs today.

The-Big-Noodle:-Australian-1-Dollar-Coins

2018 Commonwealth Games coins seem to be the most prolific NCLT coins in circulation. Found this extremely grubby one today:
The-Big-Noodle:-Australian-1-Dollar-Coins

Total number of one dollar coins noodled: 26380
Number of different circulation coins found: 128/133
2019 A-Z coins found: 25/26
2021 A-Z coins found: 26/26
2022 A-Z coins found: 26/26
NCLT coins found: 24
Mule dollars found: 1

Ah! Interesting. Much like spotting our Statehood and ATB Quarters from 1999-2021.

Not many of the 2019 letters at all these days. Did RAM ever announce the mintage of each letter? I certainly noodle more of some than others. I have 3 possible reasons:
A) RAM actually minted a different number for each letter
B) For some reason the letters got distributed unevenly around Australlia. Like Steve was saying the Federation of Canberra 20c is uncommon in WA but relatively common in Brisbane. I have yet to noodle a Firefighters coin so seems like a drought in Brisbane.
C) Some letters were more collectable by those who weren't collecting the whole set but just an odd coin as a keepsake. Maybe tourists keeping change?

Or maybe all 3 reasons are involved.

Yes, they did in their Annual report 2019/2020. It's filed under ''collector coin production:''
346.000 of each letter were minted.

I think that is very likely. Send where there was demand at a certain point in time.

Day 186

Tried to get 24 rolls of dollar coins out of the coin exchange machine but it only spat out 2 before it made churning noises and shut down saying it could not dispense my order and returned the rest of my money in $20 notes.

Nothing of interest in the first roll but found these inside the second:
The-Big-Noodle:-Australian-1-Dollar-Coins

Makes me wonder how many I would have found if I got all of my 24 rolls.

Anyway that just leaves the 4th dinosaur coin (Diamantinasaurus) and 2019 Weetbix to find. Hopefully I can wrap this up soon before any more coins are released.

Total number of one dollar coins noodled: 26420
Number of different circulation coins found: 131/133
2019 A-Z coins found: 25/26
2021 A-Z coins found: 26/26
2022 A-Z coins found: 26/26
NCLT coins found: 24
Mule dollars found: 1
