penny dreadful Valued Member Australia 318 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 04:02 am I'm in the process of totting up the totals for my main 3 noodling denominations: 20c 50c and $1. 50c are done, and are as follows. 20c and dollar results due shortly. I notice the coin bags are often not the correct totals; this happens mostly with the coin machine bags, though teller- bagged coins can be out too In the 50 cents, I had an overall net of 6798 Aussie coins, and one additional Fiji 50c piece, so was one coin short for the month, of the theoretical 6800 coins. Best find was an incused Millennium, and just a single 1985 for the month. All the 1991 RAMS were keepers. and had 67 state coins in total, some tatty ones were put back into circ. 50c COA's 1969 x101 1971 x133 1972 x33 1973 x26 1974 x42 1975 x132 1976 x176 1978 x170 1979 x206 (19 were double bar) 1980 x209 (30 double bar) 1981 x224 1983 x327 1984 x106 1985 x1 1993 x5 1996 x211 1997 x34 1999 x222 2004 x180 2006 x678 2007 x243 2008 x361 2009 x354 2010 x369 2011 x114 TOTAL 4657 COA (68.5%) COMMEMS 1970 Cook x20 1977 QE2 x51 1981 Wedd x33 1982 Games x212 1988 BiCent x12 1991 RAM x6 1994 Family x130 1995 Weary x82 1998 Explorer x165 2000 Royal x24 2000 Millen x82 (1 incused) 2001 Fed Arms x399 2001 QLD x7 2001 ACT x2 2001 NSW x15 2001 VIC x6 2001 TAS x3 2001 SA x4 2001 WA x13 2001 NT x11 2001 NI x6 2002 Outback x43 2003 Volun x95 2004 Fauna x67 2005 WW2 x247 2005 Games x206 2010 Oz Day x200 TOTAL 2141 commems (31.5%) Report this Post to the Staff

By all means we can never have enough stats. I've got the 20 cent results. 2011 platy's started showing up in late August. Only 16 state coins found in the 5000+ coins: becoming tough to gather sets from circulation.... Bag amounts are 2 coins over the theoretical amount of 5000 coins, so 5002 is the total. 21 were foreigns - NZ 20c x19, a GB 10p, and a French Polynesian 20 franc Total Aussie 20 cent coins is 4981 PLATY'S 1966 x107 1967 x149 1968 x88 1969 x28 1970 x49 1971 x18 1972 x41 1973 x42 1974 x73 1975 x108 1976 x123 1977 x87 1978 x79 1979 x61 1980 x174 1981 x346 1982 x124 1994 x30 1996 x71 1997 x64 1998 x74 1999 x231 2000 x120 2001 x268 2002 x90 2004 x237 (incl 6 big heads) 2005 x218 2006 x377 2007 x127 2008 x569 2009 x267 2010 x205 2011 x14 TOTAL = 4659 Platy's (93.54% of Aust coins) COMMEMS 1995 UN x1 2001 Bradman x11 2001 NSW x2 2001 ACT x0 2001 QLD x0 2001 Vic x3 2001 NI x1 2001 NT x1 2001 WA x4 2001 SA x4 2001 Tas x1 2003 Volun x18 2005 WW2 x128 2010 ATO x35 2011 Womens x57 2011 Volun x5 2011 Wedding x51 TOTAL = 322 Commems (6.46% of Aust. total) Report this Post to the Staff
penny dreadful Valued Member Australia 318 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 10:11 am Dollar coins have been collated. Once again, the bags sometimes didn't add up to the supposed value - one lot had a $2 coin in it..... Had 2 foreign coins; a NZ $1 coin and an Indonesian 1000 Rupiah coin Highlights were my first NCLT, the Oz Post 200 years from 2009, a 1996 Parkes B and C mintmarks, 2x 1993 Landcare C mintmarks, and a Rotated 2001 COF dollar.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 11:04 am I am collecting all commems only, 20c, 50c, $1, out of circulation into a 2 litre jar. Whe the jar is full there should be around $300 face in it. I will post my analysis when the jar is full. Just to keep the numismatic blood flowing, on a daily basis! Report this Post to the Staff
penny dreadful Valued Member Australia 318 Posts	Posted 09/05/2012 12:41 am Oh, almost forgot that I did a $100 bag of 5 cent coins during August. Urrrgh, tiny fiddly little things, and my mood wasn't improved by not finding any 1972's To top it off, the bag was 6 coins short....also had 11 NZ 5 cent coins as well, plus one trashed 1966-84 coin which was undateable. Total of 1,983 Aussie 5 cent coins 1966 x6 1967 x14 1968 x14 1969 x7 1970 x8 1971 x5 1972 x0 1973 x14 1974 x9 1975 x5 1976 x34 1977 x23 1978 x6 1979 x18 1980 x26 1981 x61 1982 x38 1983 x43 1984 x15 unknown x1 TOTAL Machins = 347 (17.5 %) 1987 x17 1988 x33 1989 x19 1990 x8 1991 x12 1992 x25 1993 x35 1994 x48 1995 x33 1996 x38 1997 x37 1998 x37 TOTAL = 342 Makloufs (17.25%) 1999 x82 2000 x53 2001 x130 2002 x68 2003 x76 2004 x112 2005 x179 2006 x194 2007 x56 2008 x156 2009 x62 2010 x70 2011 x56 TOTAL = 1294 IRB's (65.25%) You'll see how few older 5c are in circulation compared with the more recent years. I guess a lot of 5's go pretty quickly into money boxes/money jars/are lost. Report this Post to the Staff
