Just a bit of trivia from Sky News page. Saw this used as a headliner image for a story on insurance, and thought it interesting they chose this particular coin, probably just a generic they had on file. Never did find out if there was a connection with the story because I didn't read on :blush:, none I suspect, but not too many 1977 COA 50 cents about, I wouldn't think.

As we age we lose three things, one is our memory and arrrrr I've forgotten the other two!

Yes, Ian McConnelly discusses them on page 80 of his Errors book along with referencing a CAB article from June 2003.

I'm pretty sure our good mate Shane from CCF bought one at one stage.

I only saw a glimpse on NBN news of the rare coins & some notes but if anyone knows of collectors/dealers in the Northern NSW or SE Qld. area that have had items stolen in the last 12 Months or so tell them to contact Lismore Police.
