ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 05:45 am I found my first 2010 5 cent coin today. Does anyone have any idea how coins are released? Do they come out a few at a time, or all at once? Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 07:32 am the distribution of coins is quite a mystery to collectors. I haven't seen a 2010 0.05 yet: well done ! Report this Post to the Staff
ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 08:06 am Thanks Peter, I guess the next question is: Does anyone have any idea how many they will make? I suppose I will hold onto it, but I am guessing it will be very common soon. Edited by ozcoins 09/13/2011 08:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 6:25 pm Hi Fioti, You have listed that you are in America, so I am guessing that you were not looking through Australian coins :) Report this Post to the Staff
ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 6:43 pm Thanks Floridapalms, I have looked through close to 3000 coins recently and that was the first one I found. Its possible that I overlooked other ones as once I had nice examples for the newer years, I was concentrating on trying to find the older ones, or only really nice newer ones.

ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 09/29/2011 09:05 am Update: Just found my second one. Now they are only 4 times less common than the 1972 - at least in the coins I have gone through. Report this Post to the Staff
floridapalms Valued Member Australia 85 Posts	Posted 09/30/2011 10:41 am Great finds,the treasury have obviously released these into circulation and that is great to see I've been hearing the 5c will be withdrawn for 4 years now but it just keeps going and going.....cool Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 12:48 am I found three last night. Unfortunately they'd been sitting in water for a while and have some toning. Report this Post to the Staff
BrettandKaren New Member Australia 30 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 03:15 am Well Done... I've only found one 2010 5c out of a few thousand coins from rolls. And found 7 1972 5c in those rolls. Does anyone know in Australia where to get the plastic coin bags (Armaguard I think) of coins? Like which bank? I've only been able to get paper Chubb rolls from St George and Commonwealth.

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 03:43 am I think Westpac tends to give plastic bags. Report this Post to the Staff
ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 05:15 am BrettandKaren, I have been getting 5 cents from a Commonwealth bank branch and a few from St George. The SG coins came in little armaguard bags, and the C coins came in Chubb rolls. SG has a counting machine which I have used to deposit the unwanted coins and I figured they would go off to armaguard if the bank didnt make use of them - so I would not get the same ones back later. I have been given $100 of coins twice. One time in Chubb rolls and one time in a bag filled by the bank. I guess the supplier of coins depends on the branch? Report this Post to the Staff
