David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1616 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 11:26 pm WOW - nice work PT.

Q = Queen street farmer R = Rotorua S = Sheep T = Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu U = Upland Bully V = Vote for women W = Weta X = Xenicus gilviventris (Rock wren) Y = Yeah, nah Z = Zeeland Edited by David Graham 02/10/2022 11:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

OzLeigh Valued Member Australia 215 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 04:13 am These "hunts" are really all about the number of tubes of uncirculated coins Australian Post can sell to people looking for the "special" coin. Yes tubes not rolls, and there's plenty of empty space in the tube for the coins to rattle around in, hence I wonder what condition these coins are actually in when they are opened.

Certainly not in the same condition as a year set. I bought 3 tubes of the first set and went through them to select the best specimen of each letter. Wasn't too impressed when I opened a tube to see a dirty big sweat etched fingerprint on a letter A so they don't even bother wearing gloves when handling them.

Yikes Reminiscent of the 2012 red poppy $2 being glued onto cards by RSL volunteers. The average person has no clue about how collectible coins should be handled. Report this Post to the Staff
crab eater Pillar of the Community Australia 625 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 10:38 pm I am wondering if the plastic coin holder in the folder is PVC ? Will it affect one side of the coin ? Maybe just leave them in the cardboard tube you buy the set in ? Had a read of the fine print on the back of the folder to see what it said an was surprised to learn that 'Esky' is a trademark name of Coleman. Who knew? Report this Post to the Staff
Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 02/20/2022 01:26 am Ah well - I'll keep any that I find in my change, but it's already tough enough to find the standard coins each year. Report this Post to the Staff
