I've recieved 5 of them from my local coles self service checkout in the last week. I have yet to see any come into the til at work though.

It was most definitely a Herculean effort for anyone and everyone who lined up every single day for 2 to 3 hours to get the full set of coins. I only went one day and that was enough for me. So if you consider the time and efort that went into putting those sets together $250-$350 really isn't too bad a price for all 11 coins.
I only wanted an example of the coin for the collection I wasn't too concerned about the different packaging each day. I went on day 10 and have a couple of spares if anyone is looking for one, I am happy to trade for other $1 coins.

What is the quality like with the mint/satchet bags this year? The 2017 Anzac $2 coins were the last lot of baggies I bought from the mint and they were heavily scratched and beat up. Even more so than other years

You'd have no chance getting up my driveway with that rig  :laugh2:

I've had the exact same problem with another seller on ebay who are actually a bricks and mortar dealer, not with coins but militaria they stole a photo of mine then watermarked it as their own! No matter how many messages I sent them they would never respond and even ebay didn't care.

There must be a few NOS notes floating around as I scored a crisp UNC 2008 $20 out of the self serve checkout at Kmart on Saturday

Good work, I have only found 2 so far and they both came in my change. Still getting plenty of 2014's though

Now now Herc don't be too hasty mate... I'm a Queenslander (Born & Bred) Just because I live on their side of the fence now doesn't mean I want to be lumped in with all the other NSW supporting heathens

That is one hell of a lot of coins you have gone through, how many bags do you buy at a time?

My bank will only let me take 2 or 4 at a time if I am lucky and if the same woman is on the register when I come back (which she usually is) she won't give me any more and all the other banks around here rarely ever get coins in as they get them from all the local businesses and they are all in little ziplock bags.

I am thinking I may need to start getting some from the banks on the Gold Coast.

It has definitely given me incentive to buy more bags of coins now! I generally have poor results buying bags around here so don't bother too much (although I don't buy anywhere near as many coins as some of you guys do) plus I have a couple of girls at Coles and at another local bank who save a few coins for me.

The problem is now I have all these coins but am down almost $200 in noodling/collecting funds haha :mafia:

Also I'm not sure how many of these red Anzac $2 coins were released into circulation as the only place I seem to see them is for sale on eBay? This is the first one I have ever seen in the wild and I only know of 2 other people who have found one around here, it is probaly 10x rarer than a coronation to get in your change. (In these parts anyway)

Well done Goldseeker! None have showed up here yet and I'm still (im)patiently waiting for my baggies from the mint to be posted

Hey Jack I am up in Tweed. My family are from down your neck of the woods though around the Casino Lismore area.

Is anybody here going?

Having never been to one before is it worth the hour trip?

Cheers
Luke.

Yet to see any 2017's around here... I'm still waiting for a 2016 50c piece to show up in my change.

I have just added my results to the survey. I am yet to find a $1 or 5c piece where I am (Northern NSW) I have found quite a few $2 and 50c coins in circulation but I have only found 2x 10c and 1x 20c coins.
