You have probably heard of "barn finds" (old cars sitting in a shed). Well today we had a strongroom find.
The old strongroom at the ex Westpac branch (hasn't been a bank for some years now) was getting a clean. A piece of plastic was seen poking up from behind the edge of one of the shelves. Lift the shelf out from the rack and this fell out....

Unfortunately a mix of years and most well worn. I was hoping it would have been an old, uncirculated lot.
Still a nice surprise. :)
Yes, just went through then and newest was 2008. My wife says it is around ten years since any coins were ever stored there.
Highlight, but not in the right way, was a 1988. So worn that I could barely read the date -reminded me of some 18th century silver coins I have seen.
Great find JeffH
