As you can see, we're in the process of upgrading ACF to newer (and better) software.  The database has been converted from MyBB to SMF, the conversion completed without errors.  I've cobbled together a quick custom theme, has a few bugs but looks and works ok for now.  All members, posts, and images should be here.  Haven't gotten the gallery working yet, it was bridged to the MyBB install, will work on that. 

This is your forum, I need to know if anything's broken, missing, or just disagreeable to members.  Please post your comments, suggestions, complaints in this topic.  Your patience is appreciated.

Posted before but a friend managed the local TAB and kept coins for me,amazing what NCLT turned up over the years.

Also UNC early decimals,people must keep/store them and spend when funds are low.

I have come across MS 1984 $1 coins in the past. Usually find them in the till at work.
I also wondered if someone was spending an old coin hoard.

Hi Guys, on my PC the forum is almost exactly the same as previous.
Looks the same, logs in the same, works the same, nicer shade of blue.

This is not earth shaking but interesting.
I dropped into the Seven Hills (in Sydney)  Combank to get a bit of coin change in $1 rolls.

Once more i found in a roll  a 1984 MS state dollar!
Apart from bag marks and a trace of handling its MS.
Does this this happen to anybody else?

Has somebody been hanging on to a trove of 1984 and finally cashed them in?
Thats 40 years!

I put it with the other TWO found in the last year.

Any clues?

Cheers, Fred

I have poor vision too. 120% is good now.

Were you looking at the new forum? https://acfsmf.kotct.com

Yes, Terry.

The coin swap may be available sometime in the future when the RAM decide to do more pop up shops.
The RAM have mainly been doing the counterstamp Map coins and no coin swaps available.
The coin swap is also available for kids only during the school holidays:

I could go tomorrow, but of a drive from Sydney.

But is it really worth it for the coin swap?  Most of those 42 coins I don't recognise as being highly desirable.  I'm not exactly a follower of the coloured $2 coins though, so I could be wrong there.

I'll probably drive in to do a few mint your own's though in the coming weeks.  That could be fun.
