Does anyone feel a bit let down now the Mint has swapped new coins in all denominations so there's no more excitement over what coins will be minted for circulation this year. It's all over in the first month!
Those who attended the coin swap this morning can confirm it's now only the Mob of Roos for 2015 that is in question as they've issued the 100 years of ANZAC $1 dated 2015?
I've seen some photos on FB today apparently of 2015 MORS, so they could be out there.
I got my mint set coins for 2015 last year which included a MOR coin.
I have had it graded at PCGS and it came back MS64 :(
The 2014 mintage of the Anzac coin was an absolute stuff up by RAM as it was issued 1 year too early so I imagine that this year it will be the circulating commemorative coin. :angel:
Buggr ...... I can't find the pic now. (Stupid FB). It did look like about 15 of them in a plastic bag (not a security bag).
At least we know what to look for now.
But I wouldn't be surprised by another commemorative appearing during the year.
And was it the coat of arms 50c or not?
[attachment=3129]These are the 7 circulated coins for 2015
Quote from: 'Oldcoinchest' pid='65994' dateline='1422254725'These are the 7 circulated coins for 2015
If you count the NCLT stuff there is way more than these and we are only into the first month of the year :angel:
Thanks for the pic Oldcoinchest.
Expect more counterstamps in 2015
Interesting about the 2015 Anzac coin same as last years released a year too early?
I think you've missed the point. I'm guessing you'll see that Anzac dollar coin every year with a different obverse date from the year your boys sailed for WWI to the year they came home. It does have 2014-2018 on the back.
:i_agree:
And it's likely there will be at least one change in the royal effigy.

So true and it will most likely be the last effigy of QEII
When can we expect to see a Sir Philip Mountbatten coin turn up? Or do we have wait for him to be "late".
That would be something -Betty on one side and Phil the Greek on the other. :mocking:
It would make "heads" the best call for any decision maker/tie breaker toss.

So, has anyone found any 2015 coins in circulation/change?
Quote from: 'mkonst' pid='67478' dateline='1424645865'So, has anyone found any 2015 coins in circulation/change?
Sadly No. :cray:
No bull I'm only just getting the 2014 so ages before I get 2015's :(
No 2015 dated coins found yet but at least we know they exist because the RAM exchanged coins for 2015 coins recenty
My next question along these lines is, how do we known or how can we find out the planned mintage figures for 2015 crom the RAM?
On some occasions the RAM will advise mintages in advance for some of the lower mintage coins eg the AIATSIS 50c, the coloured $2 remembrance issues.
Otherwise we have to generally wait until the RAM annual report is released around late October each year (for the year ended 30 June each year). However, the RAM mints a year's coins across financial years so that determining say, the 2015 mintages, you need to also take into account the production numbers from the 2016 RAM annual report.
A coin that is apparently rare based on the 2015 report may not be so once the following financial year's production of 2015 coins is added in.
All in all it takes a while!
Pedro
Thanks Pedro,
I've scanned through the RAM press releases for 2014 and also last years (2013/2014) annual report, but still couldn't find any advise on the lower mintage of the AIATSIS or $1 MOR.
How exactly is the RAM sharing this info?
mkonst - mintages may be flagged via RAM media release when they announce special new coins eg the 2012 Remembrance $2 etc. If I remember correctly the mintage of the 2014 $1 MORs was foreshadowed at a function that the RAM held for dealers and the word spread from there.
If there is anything that is looking like a low mintage coin there are a number of forumites with very good connections that keep us up to speed with likely mintages.
Pedro
Thanks again, I did initially find out of the low mintage of the 2014 MOR from my dealer, this was before I got onto this forum.
I'll keep my ears tuned to see what will be worth looking out for from the 2015 set of circulating coins.

I thought the planned mintages were 2,000,000 and 1,000,000 respectively. I can't remember where I saw the AIATSIS mintage but it's mentioned at http://www.australian-threepence.com/coin-news/2014-aiatsis-circulation-50-cent/
So, anyone seen anything yet? Here in South-East Queensland most the 2014 stuff is pretty common now.
nothin in northern NSW but it normally takes ages so maybe in another 6 months I'll see the 2015.
Not seen any in Perth yet. :(
Nothing so far in Brissie. :cray:
Zilch in Sydney.
Pedro
just bought a bag of the red $2 coins, Its the only way I will ever see these over here in the west :angel:
Well I spoke too soon. A friend who'd been in Sydney for the week just gave me two of the red $2 coins that he'd got in change.
congrats!!!
Nice! I really like your guys' circulating coinage.
2015 MOR $1 and COA 50c found today
I don't know Matt, some are/can be pretty boring but yeah some are ok.
Well done runway :good: gonna be another 6 months before I see any :(
Just went through a bag of the red $2 coins.
Shabby condition, this is the best one I could find :cray:

Unfortunately that seems to be the RAM acceptable standard for circulation coins in recent years.
For a special issue like this, and with all the hype and feeding frenzy they generated, you think they would try to do better. I bought a few of these and have one that looks just slightly better than yours pictured.
{edit}
PS. They can do better -some of the early year 50¢ and $1 commemorative coins (especially those issued in rolls) reached circulation in much nicer condition.
second that Jeff, just wish they'd pick their game up because they way they're going in a couple of years the coins hot off the press will look like road kill.

Found four 2015 $1 MOR yesterday in a $500 bag from the bank. First of this year's crop to turn up here.
Nice find.
Pulled the trigger on a bag of $2 red ring coins...
well done
i'd love to be able to get a bag from the bank ... no luck so far!!
got myself a beaut 2015 50c shield in change & a very nice 2014 Anzacs $1 at the same time
2 posts moved to the "noodling finds' thread.
So, JeffH, if you are the "Pedantic nitpicker number two", who is #1?
It's getting near the end of 2015 and I still have not found a single 2015 coin in circulation. :(
Interesting looking back that the Mint changed their mind and misled collectors about circ coins adding the Lest We Forget $2 to this (http://www.australian-threepence.com/coin-news/australia-day-2015-circulating-coin-swap/).
the second pic down in your link, is that Mark in his stormtrooper suit PP :mocking:
Only the red $2 and the 50c picked up so far.
Pedro
they shouldn't be far away to getting here as it's about this time of year they start showing up, they just take forever :(
No 2015 found in Brissie so far. :dash1:
I've found 2 50 cent and that's it :(
Is it known if the 2015 100 years of Anzac dollar will be released into general circulation? They are going for $100+ on ebay at the moment, and assume they're from the RAM swap day?
I don't recall seeing any announcement but I assume anything at the coin swap will eventually be released into circulation.
It would be good to know for sure what's happening with them as I'd hate to buy one for ridiculous money only to find they have been released into circulation. The mintage would be handy to know as well.
I guess we'll have to wait until November when the Mint releases their annual report to get a better idea of things.
Just completed noodling 2000 x $0.50c coins and found 11 of the suckers.
I got a 2015 $2 Elder coin today in change - very nice condition too

Seriously? $100 for the 2015 100 years of Anzac dollar on greedBay omg some people are gullible
RAM swap day was where these came from in Melbourne don't panic they will be released possibly same mintage as the $2 red poppy coin and we all know how that went :wavemulticolor:
I got a 2015 $2 in Melbourne recently. Still nothing in Brisbane though.
Fresh 2014 stuff still seems to be appearing too.
I got two $200 bag the other day and got 5 2015 50 cent so they are finally starting to show up and 4 of the 5 had minor cuds or melts so the mint is still keeping their high QC :dash1:
20c are becoming common now

What is the outlook for 2015 $ roo coin? Will it be a reasonably good investment similar to what 2014 roo is becoming?
I doubt anyone on this forum knows the answer to that 5 rubles. :dontknow:
We might get a small clue once the RAM Annual Report is available (possibly in late Oct or early Nov), but the info in it is not always of much use as sometimes mintages are spread over 2-3 years. :scratch_one-s_head:
I bought a 2015 MOR roll for $45 on ebay, seems good value at the moment. Time will tell how future value goes.

I've been informed by a reliable source 2015 100yr ANZAC $1 coin has a mintage of 23 million, where does that put the MoR mintage???
I reckon between 1 and 4 million, closer to 1 than 4 is my bet

Garbage ... you're thinking 2014 not 2015 :dodgy:
Your reliable source is incorrect
no I am talking about 2015
I suggest you might not believe your source the MOR may be in multiple millions but the 2015 Anzac definitely not 23M
Picked up my first 2015 $1 MORs in a noodle today.

Done 4K in $2 last week and still nothing, did manage to get two more green gollies but a lot of coins for nothing.
I just received a 2015 50c coin and a red $2 in the same handful of change this morning. They must be out there but have not seen bags or rolls of them yet.
I'm expecting a couple 2015 coins in the mail from my sister just outside Newcastle. Can't remember what denom's they are, poss 50c & 20c.
Still nothing to be found in Brissie.

I didn't have a problem finding the 2014s, but the 2015 are being elusive.
If you need any of the 2014 coins still, let me know and I'll keep a look out for you.
With my limited noodling since mid September 2015, I have noodled through 2015 50c, $1 coins but not kept any.
That's Melbourne for you.
2015 $1 are the only year coin I have found in circulation
Finally found my first 2015 coin today, in the till at work.
A 50c piece. :)
I received a 2015 5c coin in change yesterday
All I need in a 10 and 20 cents, and the force will be with me on this.
Although this thread is dealing with 2015 Circulating Coins and a wee bit of a mention of NCLT's, I have this day counted the number of Alum-Br $1 coins for 2015 and the total is 20.
However, I do not have the Incuse Aussie Map nor the NRL or the AFL Coloured coins yet.
With those, the total comes 23 coins for the year. (That is the total of circulating and NCLT's combined).
Quotethe total comes 23 coins for the year
HeHeHe The year isn't over yet Goldie, they still have a few weeks to punch a few more out Mate.
The sheer volume of the 25mm dollars being produced over the last few years is why I have abandoned this series totally.
They used to be a fantastic series to collect But now it is just too bloody hard to source all the new stuff.

Yes, plenty of 2015 $1 and also 50¢. I am starting to throw back lesser examples (and plenty of them).
I got both a plain $2 and 50c today.
Just picked up my first 2015 10c. 5c & 20c still to go.
Pedro
I just got a 5c (high echidna for those who are into that kind of thing).
edit: make that two.
I received some 2015 20c coins today.
I went back and managed to get a few bags for myself and now I have 4 extra bags if anyone requires one? PM if interested.
I hope this is the right place to post this, full apologies if not.
Near Hobart today I got:
$50 bag of 2015 $2 standard coins - red 50's going around the bag.
2 x $20 bags of 2015 $1 MOR coins - yellow 20's going around the bags.
2 x $4 bags of 2015 20 cents - green 4 going around the bags.
These bags are the same style as the $2 bags of 5 we get from the RAM.
I presume these are RAM bags of UNC coins.
With the info I have given without photo's is what I am saying correct please?
Also are these worth keeping? The bags are unbroken.
As well I got a 2015 $2 remembrance day coin and 6 x 2015 $1 MOR yesterday at a bakery in the same area.

Good finds well done.
The bags aren't RAM bags of UNC coins they are security bags issued by security companies.
Different to the RAM 5 coin $2 bags of 5
The colour of the bags are a standard indication of coin denomination
5c bags are coloured BLUE and contain $2 face value
10c bags are coloured PURPLE and contain $4 face value
20c bags are coloured GREEN and contain $4 face value
50c bags are coloured ORANGE and contain $10 face value
$1 bags are coloured YELLOW and contain $20 face value
$2 bags are coloured ORANGE and contain $50 face value
Of note these bags are made of Low-density polyethylene and are not recommended for long term storage of coins simply because the thermoplastic is not inert
I have found 1 x 10c and 4 x 5c so far in Brisbane. All in the last couple of weeks.
I managed to get a few 10c coins here in Adelaide today also
I found a few more standard 50c pieces yesterday.
Still haven't seen the 10c, 20c, or either $1.
I haven't done any 5's 10's or 20's in ages but the 50's are pretty common now and have only found one $1 MOR and a few of the red and scored a roll of the orange. The amount of small errors on the 50's are up to the usual standard of the mint :blink:
I now have 5 of the orange $2
I've seen a 20c now.
I've seen a plain $1 now.
I got a 2015 twenty cents today
I got 2 x 2015 MOR today.
all I have at Caboolture is 1 x .20 c , but plenty of 2015 R/E around here

Seems like the 20c and 50c pieces are both pretty common now.
Went into work yesterday and noodled through the coins in the till.
Found all the coins I still needed, 5c, 10c and 20c, but only one of each. :)

:i_agree: I reckon the ANZAC will be the common $1 from 2014 - 2018.
Just picked another 10 2015 $1 MORs in a noodle. Seems to indicate that they are going to have a reasonable mintage - unless I just happen to be where they are being released!
May be there will be more evenness in mintages between the MOR and ANZAC in 2015?

Good work Pedro!
I'm suffering from noodling withdrawal at the moment, which is probably good timing as I've got "coin dropsy" on my noodling hand after clouting my thumb side on and full swing with a hammer a week or so ago.
I've been watching the "surgery" lines slowly making their way up all my nails (see arrows). Goodness knows what is in the anaesthetic that causes this, regardless I'm glad they use it! :laugh2: So I've currently got black thumbitis and black dogbiteass.

OUCH !!!
When I smashed my hand it took ages for the wreaked nails to come off and new ones grew.

How far did you throw the hammer :laugh2:
I think I would have said more than one four letter word Uni! Looks very painful.

I have never done that but did manage to hit my little toe once, with a sledge hammer. The sand shoes I was wearing didn't offer much protection. When My nail grew back it was an odd shape (and still is).
I sympathise with you.
All's good with it, it just hasn't got much feeling in it at the moment. (Hence the dropsy .... dropped the same coin yesterday 4 times in a row ..... wasn't a keeper anyway). I dare say the nail will come off once it grows a bit. The growth lines were mid Sept and mid/early Oct (I guess it's a bit like a tree's rings). I did notice these same lines back some years ago when I had my left eye done.
Funnily enough I was doing a small bit of paving yesterday and managed to hit it twice (square on this time) with my heavy rubber mallet. Must be still getting used to this 3D vision (after around 3 years without it). I've noticed that despite being able to see incredibly well out of my new right eye lense I still shut it automatically when I first get up and then realise what I'm doing. I dare say that habit will disappear eventually.
Can't wait to do some noodling ......... before the 2015's get too bag marked.
I must of dropped something on one of my toes months ago
so now there is a black line across the nail that is ever so slowly moving up
at about half way point now and yeah - I swear it was well over 3 months ago ... slow road to China nail growth
I lost my right thumb nail in July/Aug last year whilst on the cruise. It is still approx. half grown and lots of ugly stuff under the nail.
Still have to wait and see.
it's weird
thank goodness our hair isn't so slow to replace itself!
I did get a beaut shiney 2015 fifty cents in change to day too

Pedro
ha ha Pedro
only yesterday my hubby was commenting that I still have (fine) but thick hair as there was hair everywhere in the bathroom after the shampoo and blow dry.
some women who I know as they get older have thinner hair, so far I am going OK
they reckon bald men are sexier anyways :heart:
thanks for that Trout - I hadn't heard of any 2016 MOR's - nor seen the buying frenzy on facebook and those blokes are very quick to cash in on the collectors!
2015 $1 MOR will have huge mintage they are just too commonly found to be nothing but
I've seen another plain $1 in Brisbane.

It sure gives a new meaning to the term "tailgating".
got an ATSIC 50c in change for the first time yesterday
I got 3 x 2015 coins in change yesterday, all from one shop. :yahoo:
One each of:
$2 Elder
$1 MoR
20c.
Apart from these, the only other 2015 coins I've found are 6 x 5c.
At this rate, 2016 coins might start arriving in......................2018. :whistle2:

I was amazed that you got old pre decimal coins in change,
but then I realised it was a typo. :)
Whoops!!! Thanks Steve.
I've fixed it now.
Still no 2015 ANZAC $1 and 5c coins where I am. I have managed to find the rest (although only a single 10c piece)
Anyone in Queensland seen any 2015 10c pieces?
Also, I've seen some 5c pieces but they've dried up of late.
Both still a bit light on here in W.A. too. :(
I've found a few 10c & 5c in Brissie, but they aren't appearing in droves yet.
What's with the Aussie 2015 $2 coin? A buddy of mine just returned from a cruise around Australia and gave me the $2 coin. The "TWO DOLLARS" on the reverse is barely visible, somewhat like a light strike. Also, the reverse design is minted over/on some words. What were/are those words?

It's a WWI poem called "In Flanders Fields''.
In Flanders fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
John McCrae (1872–1918)
This link gives a close-up of the reverse of the coin.

Thanks for the info Nancy. I've heard of that poem, but never read it until now. Thanks again. Also, the mint's picture shows a "C' in the center of the golden ring on the reverse. My coin doesn't have it. What does the "C" represent?

That's a Mint Mark (MM), for Canberra. Our Mint the Royal Australian Mint (RAM), sells MM coins with several different MMs which those of us with OCD just have to have, so it brings in some extra $$$'s to their coffers.
Some love 'em' others can take them or leave them. I prefer to leave them. I used to chase them, but they are sold in different locations around the country and it makes them difficult to collect them all.
Well I spoke too soon - today I got four 2015 10c pieces.
Still no 2015 ANZAC $1 here (country Vic.), the rest are now coming through in larger numbers.

With no mint mark, where was that $2 coin I have minted?
Quote from: 'Goose' pid='85912' dateline='1458578504'With no mint mark, where was that $2 coin I have minted?
It was minted in Canberra and is a circulation strike coin , That's why it doesn't have a mintmark :ok:
Aha......so a mint marked $2 coin is sold separately or in a set? In the U S we call that a mint's "Revenue Enhancement" ploy.
Quotemint's "Revenue Enhancement" ploy.
RAM has been well and truly doing this for the last 20 years or so :angel:

I wonder which Mint started it all off. this "Revenue Enhancement" ploy. There are so many Mints doing it now it's staggering.
Saw another 5c piece. Still no ANZAC $1 yet.
still only found a couple of 20's and 50's and that's it, they take so long to get here so no wonder they're all beaten up by the time they get here :(
The 2015 seems to be a low mintage year, most common is the 20 c, $ 1 and $2, no Anzac $1 though, only MOR.
I picked up a 2015 Orange $2 coin in my change at the pub in Nullagine .
This place is in the middle of nowhere so it just goes to show that you can find these just about anywhere if you are lucky enough :)

Nice find.
I've never been that far north in W.A.
(Apart from a quick trip to Broome and Derby 10 years ago)
Must venture up there again one day. :)
I finally got the 2015 ANZAC $1 last week so I completed my 2015 circulation set
I have two of the anazc $1 and found a strange rabbit ear as it's elongated down the back and a few of the three legged roos but haven't done much noodling as I'm off it a bit but will get back into it after I get a few more odd jobs done.
Is yours the same as mine AJ?

Great to see you posting again AJ :yahoo:
Don't know for how long as I'm waiting to have an operation and told to expect to be out of action for about two months so trying to get a few things done and catching up where I can as I had the flu really bad and tore some muscles between my ribs so it's been fun and games but I do what I can when I can :friends:
The flue put Mrs Trout in hospital for 10 days this year with pneumonia and torn rib muscles from coughing.

The 5c pieces seem to be getting a bit more common.
So has anyone seen everything yet?
For me 5c pieces are common enough, barely seen any 10c pieces, lots of 20c pieces, lots of 50c pieces, a few plain $1 and a few plain $2. Still no ANZAC $1 though.
Not much here really but they do take ages for coins to get here and no ANZAC yet.

I've found all of the circulating 2015 coins in Brisbane, but the ANZAC $1 and $2 coins require some serious noodling. The Remembrance Day $2 coin was plentiful late last year, but is now drying up. They're still much easier to find than the ANZAC $1 and $2, though.
The 5c and 10c are also quite scarce - especially the 10c, which was common late last year and early this year, but is now drying up as well. I used to find 4-5 in every $50 worth of 10c coins, but now I'm only finding 2-3. I keep almost every one I find because I'm expecting it to be a low mintage.
Thanks, I'll keep my eyes out for them then.
I think Jeff said he's seen plenty (not sure where he is) but I figure they'll show up sooner or later.
Have you seen any large SD 5c pieces for 2015?
Also, are you the Hercules from Coin Community?
Just done a bag of 50's, $1 & $2 and found a lot of 2015's of all and will get 5's, 10's & 20's next week to see how I go with them.

I've only ever seen one reverse on the 2015 5c - the Type 6 one listed by Brissyboy on the CCF.

How'd you go? I've just finished noodling another batch of 10c coins, and I was surprised by the number of 2015s I found. I usually only get 3 or 4 per batch, but today, I found 11, which smashes the previous record of 8 I set back in February. This is good news, because it means they're not drying up as quickly as I thought they were. :)
