Mastura New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 08/09/2014 09:45 am I've stumbled upon this strange 20 cent coin, it has a number 3 on it. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight on this, as I have never seen this on a coin before. This is my first time posting on this forum. Report this Post to the Staff

Mastura New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 08/09/2014 9:48 pm Thankyou for the information, I'm still learning about coins. So I'm guessing its not too rare or anything? I'll do some of my own research now since I know what to look for. Report this Post to the Staff
