Quote: Which error do you want, I'll get the elves to make it for you Can I see your price list? I would like a several 2000 $1.00/10¢ mule, some NZ/Bahamas mules, the 50¢ (I think) on Hong Kong blank and some incused millennium for starters. Then there is the 1982 rotated 50¢ and........ If you don't give satisfaction then I may have to investigate that Chinese link more closely. Jeff

Archaeologists have discovered what could potentially be one of the most substantial caches of early 21st century coins from the then nation of Australia.
What is most surprising about the find is the location, somewhat distant from what were believed to be the regional centres of commerce at the time. Due to the sheer number of artefacts found it is suspected that that the location may at one time have been a mint producing coinage for the nation, while archaeologists speculate that the finds represent the mints waste, purely on the basis that this cache shows dissimilarities to other finds and the percentage of deviations from what were perceived as commonly held designs.
As such, this find is remarkable as it provides an insight into production standards at the time, and if error coins or mis-strikes as suspected, would represent the largest find of rarities in history. Researchers into early forms of electronic information have revealed references to "RTM", but have been so far unable to decipher further information that could help solve this mystery.
Coins were a metallic form of exchange prevalent for many years before being totally replaced by electronic transactions later in the 21st century.

FNQ, Very good narrative!  I think trout should print off a copy and bury it in a canister in his back yard as a time capsule. 
life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Hahahaha, yeah have a laugh at the idiot who knows nothing about coins! Bit rude don't you think. If you are insinuating that I had anything to do with damaging the coin, well you're wrong. I simply have an interest in coins and up until now have had some really good feedback from this forum.

No one is having a go at you mate! After reading the thread again I can see how it could been seen that way but please don't take it as that as I'm sure no one intended to have a crack at you. Most of the jeering is at trouts mischief and as you will see from other threads his coin mutilation techniques are continuously practiced. I dont think anyone implied you did the damage more so that someone out there has. So please dont be too mad at us  we enjoy everyone's input!

trout: I am what you call a 'gloop' maker. It is easy for you to be one, too! When you have finished with each of those shed productions, they should wind up at the bottom of the harbour. Just drop it off the back of a small boat into the boat harbour where you live. GLOOP!

You can't see the old well in the photo. It is where we have a submersible pump for the house water. Also where the GLOOP occurs

I am sorry you perceive our posts in that way. There was no intention of making fun of anyone, that is bullying and I hate bullies. What I was trying to show is that some errors are not what they seem and can easily be replicated. You have seen in this thread the fake errors and the real thing, So the difference between the two should be apparent to all by now. If you have taken my posts the wrong way then I apologize unreservedly. As most Australians know some good humored banter and ribbing can and does accompany a serious discussion. I wouldn't have it any other way
