Doing pretty good there Zaggy.
Maybe I should just go for broke and get about $200 worth of 20c? I don't go to the bank that often these days. May as well make the trip worthwhile!

Why not? :) Ive been thru $150 worth of both 20c and 50c so far this week, just $50 of each I keep 'swapping' at branches everywhere each day after I go thru them! I need to 'buy' another $10 of 20c and 50c to keep the $50 of each in check tho...

Why do you have to bully me with your NT facts, Zaggy?

Justa.. If you really want more NT coins, tell me what you're prepared to swap for some.

Thats if I actually find one....  Don't worry, I can smell the day when I find 30 of those in a day...  Then I'll give one to everybody for free and charge 200 for postage lolol... Nah just jking, if I find a lot, you can have one

It just occurred to me that 11g per coin x 1000 coins = 11kg. Maybe I will just get $100 worth so I don't need a wheelbarrow to take them home with LOL.

Done sorting. From 500 20c coins I got...
2001 COF Vic x3. All banged up unfortunately. 2001 COF NT x1. Not as good as the last one I got. 2003 volunteers x2. 2004 big head x1 my first! 2005 coming home x6. New Zealand 20c mixed dates x4. British 10 new pence x1.
A bit disappointing as I wanted some different COF.

Yeah, the CoF hunt I'm on is BIZARRE! Some bags you seem to hit HEAPS of them, others NONE! Like today and earlier in the week: NO CoF's today in the 20c! BUT I did get a 2005 Going Home with a BIG Cud on it! So: $50/20c: 2005 Coming Home - 4 (1x with Cud, 4-5 O'clock) ... and BUGGER ALL ELSE!! $50/50c: 1970 Cook - 1 (Really good one) 1994 Year of Family - 2 (1x UNC) 2000 Royal Visit - 2 (1 in pretty good nick, the other, OK. They were the first TWO coins I touched!) 2000 Millenium - 2 (no incuses) 2001 CoF Coat of Arms - 1 2001 CoF SA - 1 2001 CoF Vic - 1 2002 Outback - 1 2005 Games - 2 2006 - 1 UNC And a Fiji 1996... Im bummed about the 20c... I really think 20c are 'my thing'; cant say I like 50c near as much, so getting such a poor return was frustrating! Aw well... there is always tomorrow! :)

Hey Zaggy, That 2005 20˘ Coming Home Cud is very hard to find. I've never even seen one yet, just read descriptions. Great find! Just that one coin was well worth it! Please post a picture if you can.

And what exactly is a noodler? No dictionary has it but, maybe, these secondary meanings of 'noodle' come close.  Jeff noo·dle 2 (ndl) n. Slang 1. The human head. 2. A weak, foolish, or stupid person noodle2 • noun informal 1 a stupid or silly person. 2 a person's head. — ORIGIN of unknown origin. Noodle \Noo"dle\, n. [Cf. Noddle, Noddy.] A simpleton; a blockhead; a stupid person; a ninny. [Low] The chuckling grin of noodles. --Sydney Smith. Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
