Centenary Of Federation Coins

I found two Norfolk Island 50c in the till at work, today.

I found a few 2001 coins in change again today

I would have to say that none are collectable condition wise,very circulated so I just tin them back to circulation

In the last week my wife has found 11 50¢ Centenary of Federation coins in the change across the counter and 7 of them were NSW

There are still a number of them around, all you have to do is look.

Some better quality one are turning up, which is a worry....are they from someones missing collection or have some hoarders decided to spend them.

So is there anywhere is Australia that has a large number of NT, Qld and/or ACT 20c pieces. I only find about 1 NT for every 11 Vic and NI coins (1 in 5 for Qld and ACT).

I finally got my act together & counted all my COF coins. This is what I have apart from the Unc set I bought when they were released. The number after the hyphen is the number of 20¢ I have with errors included in the total.

A few of these numbers may be a little skewed as I've done a couple straight swaps with other forum members, but apart from the swaps all of these were found in Brisbane. All the above coins are circulated.

So, sorted by totals decreasing:

20¢

ACT 55 - 16
SA 49 - 4
NT 48 - 9
NI 38 - 2
Vic 34 - 10
Qld 27 - 8
WA 27 - 7
NSW 24 - 9
Tas 24 - 4

50¢

Qld 101
Vic 77
NI 42
NSW 28
Tas 21
NT 19
ACT 17
WA 16
SA 15

I still average 2-3 of each denomination each week.

Wow Nancy. You have a heap of the coins that I find hardest to get, i.e. ACT and NT 20c pieces. I find about 1 NT coin every 14000 coins I search though . If anyone is will to swap any ACT, QLD and NT 20c or SA 50c please let me know.

I have just (been through $200 worth of 20c pieces and only found 2 federation coin. The stocks appear to be getting low (p.s. Nancy you have a reply. Thanks!)
