Hi all. I Was just wondering if anyone knew if the Centenary of Federation 50 and 20c coins were released to the state they were made for? Thanks Luke

They were released wherever the Mint thought they were needed most. From what I can gather, there was no rhyme or reason to the distribution. I'm in Qld & the hardest for me to get has always been the Qld 20¢. Qld 50¢ are as common as, I've got over 100.

G'day from Darwin, we got plenty of NT-50c & NT-20c here; and next most common was Q-50c & SA-20c. I found my first V-20c last year, after six years' looking. Peter

Here in Victoria I found heaps of NI 20c, Vic 20c and 50c pieces. I found very few ACT, Qld and basically no NT 20c pieces. SA was the hardest 50c to find.

I'm close to the ACT. I find lots of NSW and TAS. The hardest for me to find are the NT and QLD.

I have for my 20cents cof one for Queensland and one for South Australia. Don't know when the others will turn up. For the 50cents cof, I've got all but for Western Australia. Not bad eh?

You're all right guys. Started collecting in early 80's the same as you all did... as a hobby. Getting to be serious in it. Thanks to technology and internet found you guys.

Same as we all did - absolutely! Great thing about this place is that when you get to 50 posts, you will be able to trade with other members to help fill the gaps you might have. Do you have trouble with certain issues/years/denominations? I would assume, and it is only an assumption, that once a certain amount of circulating currency is in Nauru, that no more is sent until a need arrives. Following that line of thought, there may be gaps in years, is this the case?

Woah I didn't knw that.. :O didn't mean to be rude though.. :) Does Nauru have their own currency or just Aussie money? So there could be a wavy 20 cent circulating in Nauru? :O

Hi Davidson, just out of curiosity, do you see many recently minted coins in circulation in Nauru? It seems like sometimes even here in Australia it takes quite a while for commemoratives to filter through into general use. I mean it's getting close to the end of September and only now we're starting to see Scouts $1 coins out-and-about, how's the "time lag" over there?

Hello,
Yes, latman100 I'm having problems filling my list of inventory. Your assumption is quite true but I cannot go deeper than stating that.
Yes too justabeginner, no other currency is used (barter system gone long back ha! ha!). The aussie dollar is the only currency here.
No my2cents, no we don't get any recent commemos in circulation over here. So don't complain with the RAM eh?I just came to know about the scouts and the qurantine ones thru the other topics here on Coincommunity. Oh and yeah, if it's daylight saving at your end it'd put you back 2 hours behind us otherwsie it's an hour.
I'll get back to you all and tell you what I having missing in my inventory if you can help out. I assure you postage would be reimbursed.
