Did forget to mention that both volunteers dollar coins have two rim Cuds. Finding one with such double Cuds is hard but I most certainly didn't expect two! Must have been from the same die. |

Triggersmob gave me these latest treasures!  Mabo 50c, Indigenous Languages 50c, Norfolk Island 50c (For my Federation binder) and a Qantas $1. He told me these are mint roll coins and they look like it! Thanks Steve.  Also this 1993 $2 coin and 2017 5 cent, the $2 looks pretty battered - but this is a scarce coin that had only 4 million circulated (Some dates were 30+ million and 1988 over 100 million!) - the coloured coins are mostly 2 million and they disappear fast. So its a rare coin and it completes my $2 collection to the end of 2020, the 5c coin completes all my 5cents from 1966 to the Jodi Clark 2019 coin! Again great additions!   Thanks Steve!  |

Mint Bags - thats cool is that like the old plastic bags that had $10 or $20 worth of coin in them, or is this some measure of coins that is larger (Like a baggie with $500 worth of coins in it?).
I never really buy bulk amounts of anything (So says the guy who just got 8 more rolls of Anzac 50 cent pieces!), so its interesting you do.
Is it better that way (Like you can wade through them and choose the best for you and the wantlists and throw the rest back into circulation.
What quantities are these bags?
Also are the bags each for one type (Like Mabo 50c) or are they just like a bag of circulation coins and whatever turns up, turns up?

The bags were from the travelling RAM coin show, when it came to Perth.

I bought this 1991 mint set online for several reasons.   It has the last 1c and 2c coins (Until 2006 and reissues). The 50c anniversary coin and the fact most of these coins were not issued for circulation in 1991. Only the 5c, 10c and 50c saw limited numbers issued (5c was plentiful though). Also Steve I do have a 1991 $2 coin now! The cover is pretty cool too!  |

Hmm seem like the lockdown are really getting toughen up (nsw), banks only want to serve local customers and have limited trade hours, want to noodle but I think that will have to be delayed as well. Stay safe and hold on to your hats. :)
Looks like donations coins aren't as easy to find in circulation I thought the ram was try to make enough so that they could be donated.
Did find a few series 2 alphabet coins, there quite a lot of 2 dollars Tokyo olympic coins floating around and a couple of variety coins.
