Now is the time of year that people cash moneyboxes at the bank, for Christmas spending. If you have a good relationship with staff at your bank branch the it is worth asking to see if you can buy proceeds for noodling.
I have had a couple already. Got $300 of 50¢ from a moneybox yesterday and excellent results from that. Another $170 from same box is waiting for me to pick up today. Photos are of a small sample of the "keepers" from that lot.

I don't see any rarities amongst them. Pity they hadn't been looked after better.
As you said Kel, shame about the notes too.

, true nancy, she has a lot more too , all the old paper notes including the , $100 , and the $50 , and $20,s plus many $1 and$ 2 dollar notes have been folded in to little squares so as to fit into the 2 x2 plastic sleeves of the numis coin books and all the coins are just sitting together in little plastic bags...
she is on a walking frame and does not get around much anymore and cant find a coin dealer to go to sell them to, where we live so she asked me to sell them on ebay or where ever i can ..
,, kel ,,
to late to list them on ebay now , too close to christmas so i will proberly list them on ebay after new year ..
,, kel ,,
Kel: You are lucky to get coins like that. If you don't want them, I could be interested in the pre decimal lots.
Well, bought the proceeds of a money box cash-in the other day - $260 of 50¢.
Found;
•An incused millennium CCF noodling find of the week (http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=110478&whichpage=25)
•The coins pictured below. I would put as aUNC.
•Quite few more at around EF grade.
There were quite a few more 2005 Games in (definite) "keeper" condition. Don't ask me why; I just grab them if I see them.

And, another money box yesterday; $90 of 50¢ and $30 of 20¢. A few CoF but not much else except...My first 2010 20¢ "bubble". I do have a few of those but, only because of the generosity of other forum members.
Jeff :yahoo:
And, I still have my regular, weekly coin order to start noodling now.
i have not found 2010 bubble .20 c in caboolture yet , but check every coin i receive ,.. ,, kel ,,
Kel,
Keep looking please. I have found quite a few 2004 bigheads, and plenty of 2008 "gap" but, despite checking every 2010 20¢ I see, I had not found a bubble 'til now.
And I noodle a substantial number of coins each week.
Jeff
