I seems to me that if Australia introduces a 5 or 10 dollar coin, that they would be most probably be bi metallic; he has a very extensive array of such material on offer. I have a very extensive 'just for fun' collection of square coins, and I have bought a few of these off him. It is certainly a different type of website for an American dealer. I have been studying and collecting ancients for decades, but looking at his website is light relief for me. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 08/21/2010 12:16 pm I've always assumed that any future circulating $5 coin would have the same specifications as the NCLT bimetallic $5 coins first issued in the 1990s. The successful adoption of polymer notes seem to have killed off any ideas the government of the day may have had about introducing a circulating $5 coin. They last almost as long in circulation as a coin, are much cheaper, and use Australian technology and materials rather than having to import bimetallic blanks from overseas. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
