If you're interested in another story...

I have worked 3 hours on a Saturday and 3 hours on a Sunday in a small paper shop, in not an overly busy area in NSW.
I would guess an average of 200 $1 coins would go through the shop on each of those days.
I started looking in 2005.
I found 2 mules in 2 years (2005, 2007). But have since not found one for 7 years.

The mule is my very favourite coin and there is no way I would ever consider selling them.

This year I finally decided to see what all the fuss was about the Millenium 50c. I found 2 of those in subsequent weekends. And have not actively tried to find any more since.

How lovely

I've only looked at this last page, so it very well may have been suggested, but have you joined the swap groups on Facebook?

I gave my 6 year old son $4 for his school fun day.
He paid for something and got a $1 coin in change. He kept it for me because he didn't think I had it in my collection!

So my little honey went without some lollies and activities so he could save the coin for me because he thought it was a special one!!

Not only is it such a sweet gesture, but I'm obviously teaching him well! I may win the war against my husband trying to get my son collecting comics yet!

Is this of any help?

$2 purple coin

I'm jealous!! I'd say I've found at least 50 $1 NCLT in circulation, but never one of those!

Well now I just feel silly! I didn't know that!
The machine scared the bejeebers out of me - so loud as it smashed a little 's' onto my coin!
Thanks, I'll know for next year

Me? Of my knocked around $1's?

I went and stamped myself a coin!

I should have done a stack more and sold them at double the price! Kidding! Apologies for not being able to help - with a 3yo and a 5yo, I didn't like my chances of them waiting around while I played!

On Sunday, pulled out a 2000 HMAS Sydney $1 at work.
On Tuesday, was handed a Korean War $1 in change.
It was very sad how excited I got!

Thanks guys, I'm having a lot of fun with it!
Making new resources is my favourite part of my job

Hi All,
Nothing to do with coins, but my project over the long Summer holidays was creating a teacher resource website. All activities and games are instantly downloadable. My site has an ABN and commercial licenses for clipart and fonts.

My main aim at the moment is getting people to know about the site. So if you have Facebook, liking my 'Teacher Brain' page would be wonderful:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Teacher-Brain/376197119133365

It would be even better if you could tell any of your teacher friends about it!

Feel free to browse the website: http://www.teacherbrain.com.au

It has only been live for 1 month, and has done a lot better than I expected!

Apologies for hijacking your coin forum, but you guys are so supportive with everything else... and I'm really excited!

Cheers!
~Naomi.

I ended up finding some with a commercial license...
It's from http://www.schoolfonts.com.au
So it is a font, but comes up as a picture. It has an outline of all coins and banknotes... just in case someone besides me was after the clipart!

Happy Birthday!
