Can someone tell me what decade these sheets of paper wrap were used for wrapping 50 cent coins? I can't find any images online but I'm probably searching the wrong thing like usual lol. I think they could be 70's 80's but I have been wrong before.
Thanks in advance
No later than 1982, I was a Club Treasurer that year and all "Silver's"
were bagged in the little baggies for banking.
The coppers were still being paper rolled, though I think there were
plastic bags for them as well.
When the local Westpac Bank had a cleanup in their strong room I picked up over 100 pads of paper coin wrappers -all denominations from 1¢ to $2. So (what year was $2 coin introduced?) I think they were still being used into the present century. However I have the thought that ziplock change bags were already in use well before then; especially the small ones saying "$1 of copper or $2 of 5¢ (last year of circulation coppers was 1990).
It may have varied between banks -some of the wrappers I obtained were branded "Westpac" and some were generic.
My wife is a wizz at rolling them but she has been doing it for cough, cough years.
Do they sell? lol, if so, how much maybe?
I did quite well selling some on eBay and, after a Newcastle coin dealer (no, not him) bought some I offloaded the rest of the surplus to him. Can't remember the price now -it was few years ago- but I was pleasantly surprised.
I did keep some for myself.
Recent eBay prices are all over the shop. eBay search (http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/Coins-/11116/i.html?_udlo=&_udhi=&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_dmd=1&_ipg=200&_sop=2&_nkw=coin+wrapper&LH_PrefLoc=1&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc)
I feel I should know what bank that is, but I'm not guessing at the moment.
I thought quite a few used holes in the wrappers to ensure correct denominations. (This bank obviously didn't). I think Commonwealth did.
Anyhow, here's some baggies .......
