Received my set of 26 coins from circulation from the post office this morning.
Has anyone got a tube and the coloured Crux coin?

I went to two post offices in my area this morning and neither had the Aussie Coin Hunt #3. :dash1:

I went to a 3rd different Post Office this AM and again no Coin Hunt #3.

See if you can find a post office in an industrial area. They don't get as much retail foot traffic.

Does anyone know if they are doing a full proof set and a silver proof set this year?

Can't find anything online

Proof sets out in November as per stamp bulletin

Thanks.
That's an interesting way to not capitalise on a launch.

I have one friend who found a coloured X in a box of 10 rolls. Another friend bought 2 rolls and scored a coloured X and another friend bought 1 roll and got lucky too.

I bought 5 rolls last year and didn't get lucky.

Not chasing it hard this year.

I believe if you buy a full box of 10 rolls you are guaranteed one coloured coin.

$400 for ten rolls to maybe get one ... or $195 for an actual coin. https://www.coincollect.com.au/products/2021-1-Great-Aussie-coin-Hunt-2-Coloured-G-Great-Barrier-Reef-Coin/

Though, the $400 option also has $260 in currency included. Maybe there's method in the madness

seedyrom that is last years coloured coin.
You can get last years coloured G in the Impressions PNC for about $175.00

I will be waiting for this years Impressions PNC for the coloured Crux coin.

I know that. The point is about the cost
Title: RE: Australia Post Alphabet Series 3
Post by: Triggersmob on May 13, 2022, 07:03:26 AM
People are selling the searched rolls for $32 -$35 each, so you can get about $300 back from there.
The coloured coins are selling for about $250. That's $150 profit if you were so inclined and then
you still have $25 in loose coins.

I bought three tubes from local post office for no coloured coin.

Had to wait for the RAM ordered tube that arrived last Thursday, opened it and no coloured coin.

I then went to my local post office and bought a box of ten tubes and the ninth tube I opened I got the coloured coin.

So I now have heaps of opened tubes and unc coins.

If anyone wants a set plus folder, $30.00 plus postage.

Just PM me.

Went to the local P.O. and scored 8 x $1 2022 GACH#3 coins; 5 x "M for Magpie" and 3 x 2022 "S for Surfing". Then did some more shopping and scored 1 x 2020 "Womens T 20 World Cup"; 1 x 2021 $2 "Ambulance Service" and 1 x 2020 "Donation Dollar" at Woolies. Stopped off at Aldis and scored 1 x 2012 $2 poppy "Remembrance" coin in change. 
Not a bad day collecting. :dance:

I got a roll - if there's a coloured coin will it be the top one or will I have to dig in and check?

Coloured coin is on top when you open the tube.

Anyone know if the coloured Crux dollar will be in a PNC this year?
Title: RE: Australia Post Alphabet Series 3
Post by: Pedro on August 03, 2022, 07:41:50 AM
Only a hunch Auto but the first two GACH series had their special coins featured in PNCs so I'm guessing that it will be the case this time too.
