Quote from: 'interest' pid='6981' dateline='1358860695'It looks as if the end of the line is in view, today I put the last 5cent into my Dansco Supreme & also the last 10 cents as well. Please see photos.
I am going to the end of the year with the rest of the circulating coins & that's it for me.
No more decimals. 1966 - 2013 that's it, albums full.
Last page last hole.

Last page last hole


There is only one more coin to get, the AFL dollar & that's it.
I now have one each of all one cent coins, all Mints.
One each of all two cent coins all mints.
One each of all five cent coins all mints.
One each of all ten cent coins all mints.
One each of all twenty cent coins all mints plus wavy 66, pointy & not pointy A's
Nearly, one each of all fifty cent coins, don't have Yarralumla.
One each of all two dollar coins including fakes.

Dollar coins...WOW got a heap of these.

from 1991 when you could mint your own, have got at least one (mostly five or ten) from each of the mint your own coin press's
for each year, plus the main pressed version, plus any mobile pressed coins from that year.

If you take just one year, lets say 2005 Gallipoli for example.
That year I bought
10 coins with "C"MM from each press at the RAM =20 coins
10 coins with "C" from main press's =30 coins
10 coins with "G" MM =40 coins
5 coins with "G" from AWM =45 coins
10 coins with "C" from main press's =55 coins
10 coins with "S" from  Pacific Stamp =65 coins
10 coins with "S" from ANDA mobile press =75 coins
10 coins  with "B" from main press's =85 coins
10 coins with "B" from EKA mobile press =95 coins
10 coins with "B" from ANDA mobile press =105 coins
10 coins with "M" from main press's =115 coins
10 coins with "M" from ANDA mobile press =125 coins

So up until 2013 that was the quantity of each & every dollar coin in albr except those PAD coloured to which I only bought 5 of each.
Okay why 10 of each? seemed like a good idea at the time had a well paying job so I didn't miss the money, wife was okay with it all.
But late 2012 I just got sick of all the coins I had to buy just to keep my albums up to date,  the mint has caused me to lose interest,
I mean the price of  coins $8 for a twenty cent piece
$19.95 for the AFL coin!
Becoming far to much of a joke.

I use to buy nearly everything that was released, stopped doing that quite a few years back, I have a lot of pretty things & gee a lot of junk.

So now all my albums are completely up to date (apart from the AFL dollar) that's where they are going to stay.
Unless Lizzy falls off the perch next year, well then I'll have to get all the coins so there will be an end to this Reign.
That's not to say I wont be buying any more decimal coins, I like the look of next years Mint & Proof sets so I will be getting them plus MYO coins. But no more pulling apart sets to retrieve 1 coin & putting the rest of the set away, that's gone.
Pre decimals will be my main concern from here on.
So this is the end of the line as all my albums are full & up to date.

It will only be the end of the line when they stop minting these denominations.
