trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 11/17/2011 04:33 am I bought this on a whim, Glad I did. Are there any more $5 coins issued that are the same size? Edited by trout1105 11/17/2011 04:35 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 11/17/2011 10:10 am The 1988 $5 was the first, and it became the "standard size" for aluminium-bronze $5 coins. Any $5 coin in the catalogues that's not bimetallic or precious metal, will probably be this size: Year of Space, ANZAC, Sydney Olympics, etc. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C.

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 02:33 am No coin is a bad investment if you like the coin. I have a heap of UK copper nickle crowns that are virtualy worthless be I like them i like the look and feel of crown size coins and with my lousy eyesight the bigger the coin the better. There is nothing wrong with a nice big fat golden looking coin. Sorry Sel I missread the post Report this Post to the Staff
