Possum Magic

There are now rolls of the $1 coins! I never knew the $1 coins were meant for circulation. Always thought they were NCLT...

They are NCLT. Someone's removed them from the sets and put them into rolls. Cotton & Co are famous for doing this, but I'm sure they're not the only ones. :ok:

Hmm yea but cotton and co does it with their own black wrappers and hologram stickers. These rolls have the black prosegur wrappers. I looked at the ends of it. Looks machined to me. I know how self-made rolls look because I keep mine in rolls for storage and hand crimp the ends. Although I think my hand crimp ends may pass the cursory look, it does look vastly different from machine crimped ends.

The bagged Olympic coins last year were a "Cash Cow" for many of the unscrupulous Woolies employees and I can't see this lot of $2 coins being any different.
The rolls are homemade from either sets or from the coins distributed by Woolies If you want one just get a bunch of coins and an old bank/mint wrapper and make your own, They will be just as "genuine" as the eBay offerings :angel:

Let's get this thread back on topic of possum coins please. I understand some Woolies staff are breaking the rules distributing whole bags or any coins above 2 per person/sale. Let's leave it there and not postulate on their motivations.

Daughter comes to visit for Father's day
Goes to two woolies ...... wait for it
Comes home with $100 of possum magic $2 coins
No sealed bags but she said one girl opened a bag and poured it straight into a plastic coin bag and then handed it to her.
She then took $40 worth from two other tills
Next woolies gave her $10 worth

All coins across the 3 weeks with most being blue and red
Then last night she arrived with 7 from friends who gave them to her at dinner the night before. " your mum collects coins doesnt she" ?.
So i went from hardly any to stacks! !
She was wrapped as in Melbourne she has barely been able to get any!

I thought these would all be gone, but happened to get 3 (red ones) in change from a Sydney store last night.

Just picked up a few loose $2s (week 3) but no sets left at the local Woolies.

The Woolies at Paddington in Brisbane had about 15 Possum Sets left at the Service desk when I was there just few days ago. Still selling them for $15.
