Today I found a 1987 50cent coin that was only released in mint sets. It was mixed in about $30 worth of 50 cent coins but seemed to be calling me as it was just sitting there saying 'hello, take me home'  |

Good for you. Wish I was as lucky. I look at every single coin which ends up in my pocket, searching for coins I can give the grandkids. Very seldom do I find anything for their collections.  |

G'day, in the last few days, I've been given in change a near-Unc 1969 50-cent, and the next day a near-Unc 1984 $1.
I wonder if the "Global Financial Crisis" is causing a few moneyboxes to be shaken out ?

I'd have to agree with the moneybox comment Peter. I was given a near-UNC 1977 Jubilee 50c this week in change that definitely hasn't been passed around for 32 years. Little bittersweet for me though as someone must've given it up begrudgingly...

I found a golden 1997 Smithy (circulating variety) while roll searching today. Not a mark on it. This is not the first I've found in this condition. They have a beautiful golden colour.

I got an incuse 2000 Milennium coin in change from the supermarket last week. To say I was excited would be an understatement!
