Foggy New Member Australia 3 Posts	Posted 02/02/2010 05:53 am Hi I just stumbled upon this forum from a Google search trying to find if I could buy a bulk quantity of 1c coins. I would like to know if there is somewhere in/near Adelaide that I could purchase a large quantity of 1/2c coins, 1c is preferred. I am not after any special coins just the plain old standard ones which have been removed from circulation. Some may be wondering why I would be wanting to get my hands on some 1c coins and it is no secret so I will share. For my birthday last year my best friend gave me ~$50 in 5c coins and soon it is his birthday and I wish to out do him. Thus the 1/2c coins. ;) So if anyone can be of assistance and point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. Cheers Foggy Report this Post to the Staff

I would suggest you try any bank you pass and tell them why you want them are I am sure if they have some they will give them to you. Good luck Edited by tiddyathome 02/02/2010 06:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
Foggy New Member Australia 3 Posts	Posted 02/02/2010 06:39 am Thanks for the reply. I didn't know that I could ask at a bank for 1/2c coins because they are removed from circulation. I was under the impression that once a bank receives any coin/note which is removed from circulation, they are not allowed to give it to the public? Report this Post to the Staff

tiddyathome Valued Member Australia 252 Posts	Posted 02/02/2010 10:45 pm As to weather you can get coins like this from the banks, smaller branches need $25 of copper to send them to the RAM. It is suggested in other forums that it is up to the staff and manager of each branch as to wether or not they will give them . Some banks will and some banks wont. If one branch of a bank says no go to another branch of the same bank and it could be a yes. I have. Report this Post to the Staff
