Thankyou for the info.That keeps one updated and still noodling those bank coin rolls!!

Thanks Jens. The reason for my question was I read (or misread) that the $1 dollar coin was
only issued in collectors sets. Yet on a bank coin roll noodle discovered two $1 dollars over the Xmas period.
Might they have come from broken up collector sets?

What was the mintage for $1 dollar 2025 MOB?
RAM don't have it - YET!

Dear Members,

You've probably been aasked this question countless times either by family, friends or here on this very
Forum. Why do you collect?

I don't have a clear answer for myself YET but am working on several including heritage,posterity giving,artistic representation
among a number of reasons.

What's yours?

Thankyou for your quick replies but I'm sorry for the unintentional confusion but my post was not clear enough.
What I'm looking for is a new coin releases BULLETIN to keep me updated about what coins are going to come out
into circulations. I didn't mean to ask  about ISSUES with coins just an up to date and reliable coin news source.

Dear Forum Members,

As time is a very limited resource with me and also that I can't remain on t'Net
for any sustained period of time due to info. overload frazzling my senses canĀ 
anyone advise where the best source of Aus. new coins issues can be got?
A reliable and regular bulletin would be most helpful as opposed to trawling t'Net
interminably.
Thanking everyone in advance

Quote from: 'Sapyx' pid='129952' dateline='1747062039'There's no such research done, because there's no real way of quantifying how many of these coins still exist. There are probably mint records of melting of officially withdrawn coins, but no records would exist of unofficial meltings, either here in Australia or abroad. Large numbers of them were exported to Hong Kong/China in the 1960s.

All we can say for sure is that there are still plenty of them around; enough for them to still be treated as a bullion coin.

I like your collection. And remember getting one in change in Darwin many years ago.
Truly delighted!

Thanks for the heads up on this very unique $1 new 6 Roos.
Must head into the bank and see if they have any new dollar rolls to exchange
for a note or two. Most interesting. Anybody know the reason for RAM to pull yhis one?

I've always found the 2001 Federation 50 cent coins almost impossible to collect from pocket change and general noodling.
Perhaps one needs to try the bank rolls again for better luck (or wait to buy any 1kg bag of them that might come up
for sale on the Forum here ( be happy waiting on that one!!!!!).

@jens coins.
having mistakenly believed that I had replied to you posting the Forum rules to moi
just realised that that didn't occur.
So thankyou for putting me in the picture and the opportunity when the time arrives of doing some horse trading
with other Forum members but it may take a wee while to get up to the 50 post mark as this member
is flat out working currently.

I've found quite a few sets of the Anzac collections but still on the lookout for JC 2021 MOB and of course the $1 Dollar 2016 Decimal.
