Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 09/29/2018 03:38 am Seems like the 1971 20c piece doesn't get anywhere near as much love as the similarly scarce 1972 5c piece for whatever reason. Report this Post to the Staff

That said, it's usually the commemorative 20 cents coins that disappear very quickly from circulation. Trying to complete a set of Centenary of Federation 20 cents was a challenge and these days - I don't remember seeing any in circulation for the last few years!

Most of the early decimals were common in circulated condition. As time goes by it is getting harder to find these in decent circulated condition. Uncirculated is a different story though. I think the day when the catalogue producers include all grades of Australian decimal coins will give this great hobby a much needed boost. Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 09/30/2018 8:11 pm I agree - still see them in change from time to time (though I find the Centenary of Federation coins to be common I think). Report this Post to the Staff
