Australian Decimal Coin Checklist

are you including counterstamped $1 coins too?

Ozzie, no. This is a simple checklist that doesn't include those. This is just for collectors to remember what they have when they see a pile of Australian coins at a shop or flea market, etc. I like to keep one of these lists in the car when I'm on a road trip and see a coin shop, hobby shop, private sale in a different town. It's must easier (and cheaper) than toting a book.

zipper, Greg MacDonald's book may be well worth the money, but at $35 + $20 to ship it to the USA makes it very pricey. A two page checklist is the way to go for me. I'm not big on varieties or errors, just one coin each per date is good enough for me.

I could easily add the special collector's commemoratives and varieties and even mintage numbers to my list but I like it simple, but I'm thinking of making a pre-decimal list too.

Thanks for all your comments!

dibby33 , If by low mints you mean coins with low mintages, no thanks.

I also completed a pre decimal coin list. I'm not 100% sure of the accuracy especially with the florins and crowns, but here it is.





And if you're interested in a one page pre decimal checklist, here it is.



Like I mentioned before I don't know how accurate this is, but it's easier to carry around than a book.

If you want to include mintmarks, you will have a substantially longer list. I would also delete the 1937 penny, it only exists as a pattern with very, very few examples known. It never entered circulation. So unless you have hundreds of thousands to spend on a single coin....

Great list.

And exceptional input from other members.

I also have been attempting to generate a similar list for quick reference while shopping. and for keeping track of what coins I still need.

I included 2 extra columns though. 1 column for "Very Good" value, and 1 for "Uncirculated" Value to assist me in determining if a coin on offer is worth further investigation.

Add 2011 20 cent Royal wedding and International womens day (2 coins) which are in abbundance, no other 2011 coins are out from what I have seen.

The aussie coin guide books have every issue covered,buy a Rennicks or McDonald guide

Your $1.00 list is missing the Australia Volunteers 2003 coin.
According to macca's there were 4,149,000 minted, Recently out of 200x$1.00 from the bank, I got 1!

Also it appears to be missing the 2000 mob of roos.

And according to macca's, there are no 1996 mob of roos.
