Got a phone call today from Chrissy at the bank, telling me they just got some funny looking twenty cent coins.
these "FUNNY" looking coins came from a news agency to which the owner said "I don't know if these are worth anything other than twenty cents but all I want is the money!"
So I have been lucky to score $120.00 worth of the last 2018 Anzac Coin Collection, 'The Anzac Spirit' (see photo)
Have yet to sort them will do that in the next couple of days. guess there will be a few bag marks.
Nice pick up, thanks Chrissy.

Top job Interest! :good:
Looks like a box of choccies for Chrissy. :)
Nice pick up
Good one.
Shows that it pays to cultivate the tellers.
How did a newsagent end up with $120 of these? Did he take them as a single payment and if so what could be so expensive? (that's a lot of magazines or scratchy tickets). Plus who had the $120 of change to make such a payment and why on earth would they have so many unless they are a noodler? :huh:

Our newsagent told us they get reimbursed for the unsold coins and someone will collect the coins but being in a country town no one comes to pick up the coins at the end of the promotion. The couriers are too expensive so they just throw them out.
I missed out on two cartons of the 50c united coins and albums by a couple of days as they threw them out in the rubbish.
I won't state the Newsagency but it was a small one on the Gold Coast,they had uncollected/sold Anzac Spirit Coins by the box full,grey boxes stacked on top of one another behind the counter.Shop assistant said they had an old man come in and get the first release and never came back, that was it ,not one other customer.
Got a phone call from the bank yesterday that they have just received a further $90.00 worth of twenty cent pieces.
I got her to check to make sure they were not fifty cents pieces but unfortunately not.
I said thanks, but no thanks. so they will be released into circulation in the days ahead.
Excellent
