Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 03/29/2021 03:58 am More a win than a find. We had a 3 coin society meeting yesterday (Auckland, Tauranga and Waikato) and I won the quiz prize and the so did my club - Auckland, but my prize was this piece of Kiwi/Aussie entente a 1990 joint $5 coin set for Anzac (The first Anzac coin collectible issued by either country). A nice little surprise and Australia's 2nd $5 coin and New Zealand's first. Report this Post to the Staff

karloning Valued Member Australia 401 Posts	Posted 03/30/2021 04:09 am Hi All, I am not having much joy in noodling any 2019 coins. Plenty of dollars but other denominations are eluding me. I have stack of alphabet letters if anyone wants to trade. Report this Post to the Staff

Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 04/12/2021 11:36 pm Thanks DG, almost did not get them, took 3 and a half weeks to travel 600km due to the sender getting my address, name and several other things wrong. Had to invoke Trade Me, and there was customs tape on the letter! Fortunately the coins were fine. Except I have 2 of them, only need one, may sell the other. Report this Post to the Staff
David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1616 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 04:02 am Along with 20c bag I also grabbed a bag of 500 $1. On the way home I could see lots of shiny coins so assumed they were recent mintages. I realised this was not the case when I started noodling the contents. It was one of those "What the heck?" moments. Of the 500 coins, 247 were commemoratives. Has anyone had this ratio of commemoratives before? Furthermore, many of the coins (including the commemoratives) were high lustre with quite a few bordering UNC. A new collector could have pretty well completed the commemoratives with nice coins from this one batch. On the downside, I have heaps of bills this month so didn't want to keep too many coins. But how can I throw these beauties back into circulation? As a further downside, I did return some of the coins. My contact at the CBA said they had a bunch of $5 coins handed in while I was on holidays but another collector has nabbed them while I was away. 1986 (International Year of Peace) 11 1988 (Australian Bicentenary) 6 1993 (Landcare Australia) 5 1996 (100th Anniversary of the Death of Sir Henry Parkes) 7 1997 (100th Anniversary of Charles Kingsford Smith) 10 1999 (International Year of Older Persons) 8 2001 (100th Anniversary of Federation) 16 2001 (International Year of Volunteers) 2 2002 (Year of the Outback) 16 2003 (100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage) 20 2003 (Australia's Volunteers) 5 2005 (60th Anniversary of World War II - Peace) 43 2007 (APEC Australia) 14 2008 (Centenary of Scouting) 11 2009 (Centenary of Pensions) 13 2010 (100th Anniversary of Girl Guides) 13 2011 (Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting) 14 2014 (100 Years of ANZAC) 28 2015 (100 Years of ANZAC) 1 2016 (100 Years of ANZAC) 1 2018 (100 Years of ANZAC) 2 2019 (Coin Hunt Q) 1 Edited by David Graham 04/14/2021 04:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9462 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 05:17 am Nice haul David, I guess you will have to keep a few of each and toss the other back, especially the 43 x 2005 coins. Steve :) Report this Post to the Staff

ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 02:59 am Yes sometimes but depends. As for $5 dollar don't worry about it they haven't grow in value for the past 30 year. Definitely think some people have hoarded too many of these for them to increase significantly. But who know about the future. Report this Post to the Staff
