so the question is how many coins are there in a pre dec bank roll depending on denomination?
the reason I ask is because I bought a roll recently that is reported to have 40 3d in it but then I see this
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RARE-1964-THREEPENCE-MINT-ROLL-3d-AUSTRALIAN-SILVER-x20-COINS-UNC-TO-GEM-/261339804137?pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item3cd910f1e9&nma=true&si=JNuQiNU4MqfIiEoKJuP3LXjOmSk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
is the ebay one a half roll or am I wrong to think that the roll I am getting will have 40 coins in it as per the auction description?
I have seen 20 and 40 coin 3d rolls.
I always thought that there were 40 coins in a 3d roll = 10/-
oh ok thanks I was a bit worried as I factored in getting 40 in the roll. I also wish I had pushed the budget a bit on the sixpences as well :(

Well maybe I am getting mixed up. I've seen two different sized 3d rolls. I'm not quite sure if it was 20 coin and 40 coin or 40 coin and 80 coins. But definitely two different sizes.
I have only seen the 40 coin rolls but rolls of 20 would make sense.
A roll of 80 3d's would snap in half I recon.
thanks guys, I feel a bit more at ease now. I cant wait to get my roll and crack it open to see what is inside :)
hoping for a big error coin :):)
Mark the other size is 80 coin, I'm not aware of any official 20 coin rolls.
From the photo, that looks like a 40 coin roll though.
the listing does say 20
if you get a roll of 40 thats a bonus.:good:
WWWW I was thinking the same thing - that it looks longer than 20x 3p
bank rolls can vary as people remove coins from them as well
really - you'd have to weigh the roll to be exact
no the roll I got is from numis bid

but when I saw the ebay listing I thought that I may only be getting 20 coins not the 40 listed in the numis bid description
now I know that they came out in 20 and 40 coin rolls I feel better
