lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 01/13/2006 8:51 pm I am not aware of any $5.00 roos in silver for 2004. The only 5 dollars in silver Roo is the one from the Masterpieces in Silver set of the Port Phillip Patterns but that was issued in 2003. Any chance of asking him/her for a scan Terry...I think the Aussie coins you are refering to are the Kookas of 1990 and 1991...the 1oz Kookas has a nominal face value of $5.00, this was change to $1.00 from 1992.

rggoodie Moderator United States 23516 Posts	Posted 01/13/2006 8:57 pm The only 2004 roo I can think of was in the 2004 they got the year right the masterpieces in silver had an additional roo coin scalloped edges. But alas unless someone thinks Phar lap looks like a roo, I am puzzled about his $5 coin? rggoodie aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Report this Post to the Staff
lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 01/13/2006 9:08 pm RG....the scalloped coin in the 2004 MIS has a face value of $1.00. I had a quick look through both Maccas as well as Renniks and I don't think we have any silver $5 Roos minted. Report this Post to the Staff

rggoodie Moderator United States 23516 Posts	Posted 01/15/2006 08:08 am Finally got a clarification "It's not a $5 Coin, it's the $1 that you already have. The term '5 Roo' just differentiates it from the MM Dollars that tend to overshadow our generic Dollar." rggoodie aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Report this Post to the Staff
crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 01/15/2006 09:37 am As a newcomer to the Aussie coins I have seen the designation on ebay calling the generic dollar the "5 Roos" dollar. All they really have to do is say $1 Roo and Silver Roo which pretty much sums up which is which! Report this Post to the Staff
lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 01/15/2006 10:58 am Among collectors downunder, our generic circulating non commemorative dollar coin is affectionally refered to as the "Mob of Roos"... Report this Post to the Staff
