Strictly from circulation only - how often are you finding them? I found them to be difficult to be honest; they must be very popular. Commemorative 20 cents are somewhat challenging as well. I missed my chance in getting the 2013 and 2012 colored coins. Only found a couple of the 2014 Remembrance 2 dollar coins otherwise I'm still hunting for the other two.  |

I don't noodle, but I work in a shop, so I see lots of $2 coins coming through. To this date, I haven't seen one coloured $2 in circulation.

On my trip to Australia in 2013 I had a friend who ended up with the coronation $2. I personally got to exchange it from a coin shop FOR FREE.
In terms of commemorative 20c, given that I brought masses home (about 70 coins), I ended up with a decent amount of commemoratives, 6.

Found in circulation = nil, nought, none!
However, have picked up some in change at the RAM and at a coin show.

Haven't found any in circulation myself but managed to exchange at face value a 2013 Coronation $2 that a friend got in change from a vending machine

Seen three or four in circulation, only kept two of them. All of them were the green 2014 ones. My brother found one of the purple ones and gave it to me, but I never saw one in the wild myself.

I have found the red poppy $2 (two of them), and the purple $2, (two of them together), but not the green ones.
20c commemoratives are relatively scarce for me as well.

A friend of a friend got one in change - that's as close as I have come.

With the help of my children I have managed to lay my hands on 2 green $2s over the last week or so. My brother has also found a purple $2 for me in the same period so things are looking up.

My wife works in a bank so if there are any in town I generally get them, only got probably 5 or 6 purples before they disappeared out of circulation, the green ones however I have piles of and they are still coming
