I believe "Blimey!" is the correct expression.

Anybody interested in a trade? I don't think tracking and insurance are necessary for common circulated change.

I've got a bunch of 25c 10c 5c and 1c from various dates and mints, mostly Denver (west coast). State Quarters, ATB's etc. Current year issues. Nothing terribly exciting from my perspective, YMMV.

An example

Foreign-Imposters!

I can also try for requests.

All I have now is a 1955 penny with a big jumping rat on it. And a couple of special issues and a koala, I think.

Hi MoeTate

I am happy to post you few Aussie coins with the basic Air Mail post, should be safe enough for ordinary coins. Let me know what you want? I can send you assortment of predecimals and decimals.

I've tried to email you, but your settings are restricting anyone to send you email.

Well now I know where my Australian coins came from, seems every country has people that visit there and leave something behind while taking some souvenirs.

Yeah, gotta have 50 posts before they trust you with the keys to the mail. They must have had spammer problems, I reckon.

Bookmarked your profile, for later.

Figured I'd leave #50 here, because why not?

Let's go see if the email works now, hmmm?

That's no jumping rat, that's a kangaro!
