Finally found a 2011 10 cents. That was surprisingly hard!
Also found new 2020 5 cents and 10 cents. I don't think I have the JC 2019 5 cents yet!

@gxseries - Just finished my first noodle of 10c coins. I see what you mean by 2011 with the empty space on my sort grid. Did get the 2019 and 2020 JC effigies though.  Also got a few OS travelers. It was funny that as I was opening the first small bag I was thinking how many Kiwi coins I would get, given the regular appearance of them among 20c pieces. About 15-20 coins spilled out and there was a Kiwi 10c sitting on top.  As it turned out, that was the only one from 5 bags.

Coincidentally, my son runs a business and they are having a Fun Day for staff, family and friends this Saturday where entry just so happens to be a gold coin. I've already let it be known that I'll be wanting access to the coins at the end of the day ... just hope I do as well as you did! Didn't do as well as I had hoped ... even though it was a gold coin donation a lot of families paid with a note and took change!  2013 20c Centenary of Canberra 2010 20c JC effigy 2001 50c Centenary of Federation - NSW 2019 $1 AUS - 'U' privy mark 2019 $2 JC effigy 2020 $2 JC effigy

In recent times within the lockdown area of Melbourne, where the rusting iron bars on our windows will, at long last, soon be able to be removed, I've got a few very nice coins in my change during some of my " packed sandwiches with a thermos flask picnic day" outings to the supermarket.
There's nothing like having lunch in your car in a big dull carpark,aye? And I eventually got used to taking off my face mask in the car before starting to eat, too.
Humour has been Sooooooo very important.
A Ch UNC 1976 50c which must have very recently come out of a RAM set and not a roll because, although it came out of the supermarket till, it still had that very light hue like film on the coin which you can only get on a coin from a RAM red plastic wallet.
Three true UNC/UNC+ 2001 Fed of Aust 50c. I reckon these and the 1976 Ch UNC 50c most likely came from someone who is missing them from their home.
I also got a 1997 British 1 pound coin in change intead of a $2 coin.

Hmmm...  Odd that I found a spiffy AUNC 1976 50c piece as well. Am thinking it was a roll as the odds seem too great for it to be otherwise.

@Mr T - An Aboriginal language 50c? Good score. I have yet to even set eyes on one of those.

That's a bummer when more coins are going out than comming in!! Still, a 2019 privy is always welcome.

@Ryurazu - Not in my books. It has a definite hint of aniseed which I'm not a fan of. Drinking while noodling? Never. It is only there as a solevnt to wash the coins with.
