brett5091 Valued Member Australia 55 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 04:31 am Hi, does anyone know what circulated Australian decimal coin has the lowest mintage, ( non error coin), Going by the RAM website, it says the 1992 $1 is the lowest, followed by the 1988 20 cent is that right? (Ps: I'm a bit bored at the moment) Edited by brett5091 05/23/2014 05:18 am Report this Post to the Staff

shanew Pillar of the Community Australia 1041 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 05:10 am I thought 1972 was low I don't have a book with me just guessing Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 06:48 am There are no circulating 1992 $1 dollar coins (the RAM site is wrong on that front). Probably the 1988 20c, though there are plenty of varieties that don't get a lot coverage and haven't been thoroughly investigated. Report this Post to the Staff
nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 10:22 am Did the 1988 Twenty Cent coin ever circulate? My 14th ed. of McDonald says they are only in mint sets. Report this Post to the Staff

My understanding is that the $1 minted in 1992 were part of a 5 coin special release from the Mint and that the 1988 20 cent never made it into circulation. The lowest Mintage coins actually found in circulation would be the 1985 and 1993 50c which were both about 1 million Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 6:12 pm Looks like it's come straight out of a set. Maybe cracked out and spent by a kid of the 2 legged kind. Nice find! life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
Squire Wilson Pillar of the Community Australia 653 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 7:11 pm Thanks Nancy The 1988 20 cent piece looks quite different from the rest. The frosted nature of the raised areas contrasts well with the shiny background. Squire Report this Post to the Staff

Squire Wilson Pillar of the Community Australia 653 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 7:49 pm That's interesting information stevo1962 Does this mean that there are two types of 1988 20 cent coins ?. One the proof coin and the other in the mint set ? Squire Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 05/26/2014 04:59 am as I understand it, a proof coin is very different. A coin in a mint set is just a coin made for circulation (our Seppo friends call it a "business strike"), but which gets diverted into the mint packaging before entering circulation - so if stored correctly, it is, by definition, "uncirculated".

squaremealroundplate Valued Member Australia 185 Posts	Posted 05/26/2014 6:46 pm Hello all My first post, and it's great to have a forum like this. After over 40 years in numismatics, I can safely say I know a bit about coins. There weren't any 20c coins issued into circulation by the RAM from 1983 to 1993 and 1995 - that's 12 years. This is a fact. There has always been, and still is, a lot of conjecture about whether or not these 20c coins were issued into circulation - they definitely weren't. The 1993 20c is the most difficult to get in perfect condition because too many of them have minor blemishes - feint scratches, slight discolourations and the like, followed by the 1983 and 1985. The most difficult coin to get now is a 1973 50c in absolute perfect condition, followed by the 1972 50c. These 2 50c were always hard to get in Ch UNC condition even shortly after they were issued. I hope the above is of some help. cheers the Owl Report this Post to the Staff
