New Zealand had 50% silver up until 1946 ($5.72 had this been 1946 or earlier)- Did the research, lots made, not really worth anything. Scratching my head really with what to do with it- In much more exciting news, found my first N.T Federation today - and 2 more QLD for my pile. Why can't I find any S.A's?!

ozcoins Pillar of the Community Australia 1005 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 02:10 am Hi Tim, I am in Sydney and the number of SA 50c is low for me (compared to the others). I have not found enough 20c to notice a pattern for them. Report this Post to the Staff

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 04:19 am I keep every foreign coin I find in circulation. Last week I found a new Zealand sixpence. I have found a couple Australian sixpences but only one Australian florin in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinManTim Valued Member Australia 318 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 05:02 am Glad to know that florins with some kind of regularity. I've found 2 x 1960s sixpences in my 5c hunting. OZCOINS; If you're not plucking them out of circulation, there is more chance I will ;) whoopie! Report this Post to the Staff

FNQ Pillar of the Community Australia 507 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 10:40 am It's quite ironic really, that you can still find one of these in circulation here, yet in its homeland, they (along with any Australian-sized 20's) all got melted down in 2006... Report this Post to the Staff
