I bought some eggs at work today, but I forgot to bring them home.
So I had to go to the shops and buy more.
I put the change in my pocket without looking at it and then when I got home I checked it.
What a surprise, I had been given a dollar coin that I haven't even seen before and in pretty good condition too. This is a non circulating coin, I wonder how it got in the till at the local supermarket.
Here it is...

Oh Man, what an Awesome find!! I've found a couple of coins that were only issued in Mint Sets, but never anything this blatant. You must feel really good.

Nice find . I managed to get one in change a couple of years ago as well. I forgot I had it until the picture of this coin was posted. I'll have to go look for it!

this very morning I picked up a 2007 harbour bridge $1 in change from the parking machine at the Canberra Centre - these are the coins you buy at the mint for $2.50 - and it was change from $2! Nothing as good as the waltzing matilda coin but I think this is the only time I've got a non-circulating $1 in circulation
