Maybe there is a glut of 10c coins, so they are being held until needed.
Hopefully they will be available soon. Good luck with your hunt.
I have never collected rolls, but got heaps of the 2019 coins in bags from the coin swap.

(Remember this time last year people were claiming they were low mintage  ) RAM is holding back the 2022 10c just like they did the 2019 50c and 2020 MOR $1.

A while back when I first started coin roll hunting, I only found a 2020 MOR four months after I started, and it was already losing lustre. Now whenever I open a $1 roll, most of the shiny edges are either Donation Dollars, 2019/2020 MORS, or Dinosaurs. I just hope the RAM hurries up and posts the mintage figures for the Dinosaur and GACH 3 coins so we can see which series has a higher mintage altogether.

I've found a single 2022 ten cent coin. The coin machines are still spitting out 2021 rolls...

As a cashless society is just around the corner, and the cost of producing cupronickel coins exceeds their value, the Ram has to churn out $2 coloured coins to try and make some money.

We wouldn't have key dates if it was otherwise. Quote:

I suspect there are a few more corners yet, although I can see the 5c piece going. There is always the option of a cheaper metal. If replacing the Cu-Ni coins with a cheaper metal, what would you prefer: a) Copper b) Aluminium c) Stainless steel d) Aluminium bronze e) Copper-aluminium-nickel

With 10c and 1$ so close in size keeping the colours different would be practical to avoid mistakes at the til. So using the same alloy that the 1$ is out . It also doesn't make it any cheaper than it is now to produce .
I imagine a total copper coin is not a popular option for cost and strength again .
That leaves aluminium and stainless both cheaper than copper / nickel / bronze - ali would be the go for lightness and discernibility - but may be easily damaged by the heavier/harder coins .
Stainless ?

I think I would prefer stainless steel.
Copper starts to look crappy quickly. Just check the new NZ 10c coins.

Don't worry they'll be worth 10c each soon enough.  |
