I am curious be cause I have a whole stack of them and I want to check. thanks for any help Some of the 1966 20¢ were minted in London, and the font used for the reverse numerals was different from that used on the rest. The top of the baseline of the numeral 2 has a raised or 'wavy' relief rather than the straight baseline on the majority of 1966 20¢. The number of coins that feature this 'wavy' base 2 is unknown, but is believed to be a very small number. This is believed to be the rarest Aussie decimal coin in circulation.

madbudgie0 Valued Member Australia 109 Posts	Posted 12/18/2006 03:58 am scoutjim99 - My other favourite in Aussie decimal is the 1968 1c & 2c and the 2c the best, another coin that is yet to flourish to the levels it should be for the rarity and age, extremely undervalued and very rare in a true UNC or choice UNC grade, especially with original lustre. Buy ANY in this grade if you can find them! Report this Post to the Staff

b_j_w_79 Valued Member Australia 414 Posts	Posted 12/19/2006 7:42 pm 1966 20c Wavy 2's are definitely my favourite coins but are nearly impossible to find. I have 3 and I search through on average at least $400 worth of 20c coins each week (for the last year). 2000 $1 mules are good too though (only have one from change, lucky).
