Circulating $2 Coin List

Hercules · October 03, 2017, 11:07:07 PM

Just to make things even more complicated, there are also 3 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games $2 coins coming out next year. For this reason, I strongly recommend that anyone wanting a complete set of circulating coins start out with the 5c or 10c rather than the $2. Anyway, I bought the red poppy $2 coin for $10-20 last year, because I realised I had Buckley's hope of finding one in circulation, and wanted to complete the set. :winkextra:

You do know that there are 2 of the red poppy coins, the RSL one and the "C" mintmark one

Yes, I'm wrong, as is McD and his source. Has to be 1.8 million. It's an unusual date. You are making too many low-circ and NCLT coins, RAM! I need a heap of new albums.

Quote from: 'Bigfellani5' pid='112087' dateline='1507027048'I have compiled a list on how to put a $2 coin set together. It includes those not issued into circulation. I have not added possum magic in yet either.

Pfft! Just because I got slack and held off on the Decimal Mintages update until the new RAM report comes out is no reason to rub my nose in it. :s

Nice work!

The OLYMPIC $2 coins, although released through Woolworths, are NCLT; and are descibed as such by RAM.

:agreed:
Yes they are NCLT But unlike most NCLT issues the Woolies coins are easily found in circulation so the area of NCLT status is somewhat in a Grey area because there are so many in circulation that is probably why they are on PP's list :ok:

When they are put into cash register drawers and given out in change then, for my money, they are circulation coins.
It doesn't matter what the RAM calls them; they have been released into circulation albeit by a different than usual method.

My sentiment exactly.

Thank god they didn't call them "Unicorns". Then we would have had to send any we found to Uni! :mocking:
