Day 251

Noodled another 20 rolls of two dollar coins. Quite a few coloured coins but not the ones I'm still looking for.

One of the rolls was wrapped in seemingly brown paper instead of the normal Armaguard 50 dollars of Two dollars wrapper. Upon unrolling it I discovered it was a 10 cent wrapper turned inside out. Unfortunately this was the biggest excitement of this noodling session.

Day 326

75 days and almost 7,000 coins later I've finally found another coin on my list.

2017 Possum Magic "Happy Hush", or as I call it, "the red one", (I've never noticed just how many different colours there actually are on this coin)

It is taking me so long to find those 2 remaining coins that new coins which weren't on my list when I started this project are now in circulation (namely those 3 vegemite coins)

Found the red one:

Found the remaining Vegemite coin:

Unfortunately Woolworths is dishing out more fluff - this time Matilda soccer coins - so my "to find" count is going up, not down.
