WEEK 14
(01/05/23 - 07/05/23)

This week has been pretty good. Normally one of my coin hunts during the week is a flip, but this week both of my noodling sessions yielded a total of three new coins, plus a bonus NCLT.

First I found three alphabets (you may remember another one of the letter Z I found in a sorry state last week)

The-Hunt-Of-23---My-Attempt-To-Find-Every-Australian-Circulation-Coin-.

To the naked eye this dinosaur coin looks normal, but I noticed the I privy mark on the top left:

The-Hunt-Of-23---My-Attempt-To-Find-Every-Australian-Circulation-Coin-.

Stats:
One dollar coins still to find: 22/41 (19)
NCLT coins found: 6

It's an I privy, part of the four coin set of Australian Dinosaurs. With the other privy marks it spells DINO.

WEEK 15
(08/05/23 - 14/05/23)

Best week so far without a doubt.

In one hunt I found not one, but TWO CHANGEOVERS!

And an H for Horroo which means my 2022 GACH collection has one more coin to go!

A change(over) is as good as a holiday

Please explain. I would think there are a lot more than 41 different dollar coins in circulation.

41 was the number of $1 coins I needed to find when I STARTED the hunt. I didn't count some as I had already found them.

So the update for last week will come soon, however with the restrictions coming in for the CBA machines, I'd like you to help me answer this poll:

http://goccf.com/t/446040

whether or not I should noodle a different amount and denomination before the restrictions come in. You have the power!

DG's (unsuccessful) wavy hunt

Hey! That's just been paused while I pay off the airfare and accommodation for my trip to the UK. The fat lady hasn't sung on that one yet!

(15/05/23 - 21/05/23)

No circulation finds this week.

But .

My contact at the bank got me a florin from 1954! A commemorative one too!

The-Hunt-Of-23---My-Attempt-To-Find-Every-Australian-Circulation-Coin-.

I found this in the reject chute of the deposit machine. My first foreign coin for a while!

And finally a 2018 Borobi $2 which I got for $5!

No stats this week

WEEK 17
(22/05/23 - 28/05/23)

This week I bought the AFL $1 coin set from Australia Post with the folder and tube for $45. Sadly none of the coloured ones though.

The-Hunt-Of-23---My-Attempt-To-Find-Every-Australian-Circulation-Coin-.

I only had time to noodle once this week, and that was spent on $200 of 50 cents. No 1985, but I did find an NCLT which I don't have!

The-Hunt-Of-23---My-Attempt-To-Find-Every-Australian-Circulation-Coin-.

And finally, a Firefighters $2 coin which I got for $7!

Stats:
One dollar coins still to find: 24/41 (17)
NCLT coins found: 26
