Received in change

[Triggersmob]

Absolutely nothing.

We all get those days don't worry

1 x 2012 5c. Woop woo!

[AaronG]

Is that your first?

[Nevol]

Is that your first?

No, I've got about 6-7 so far.

[AaronG]

nice! the 5c and 10c seem easier to find

My wife left a small pile of change laying on a table. What attracted me was that one coin in particular looked very bright - turned out to be a 2012 Remembrance $2. Also in the pile a 2003 Volunteers $1, a 1997 50c and a 1981 50c which, while not scarce, was in surprisingly good nick.

Given that success I also checked out her purse - came up with a 2011 $2, a 2009 $1 (Pension) and a 2008 gap 20c.

Quite a reasonable haul from less than $20 worth of coins. I have encouraged her to return to the place where she got most of them from (the building canteen) to see what else we can find!

I think that's the first 2011 $2 pulled from circulation I've read about, well done! :yahoo:

[AaronG]

Nice Pedro! I managed to grab a 2011 10 cent which sadly fell out of my pockets without me realizing, damnit!

[Pedro]

Nancy - while I know that the mintage of the 2011 $2 is low (so far) and I was very pleased to find it I think that I have been so focussed on trying to capture a 2012 Remembrance $2 that I hadn't twigged that no-one else had reported finding a 2011 $2! :blush:

Aaron - sorry to hear that your 2011 10c got away - hopefully another one will turn up very shortly. Still haven't found one of those myself yet.

I have a stack of 2011 $2 Only recently, but haven't mentioned it because it's the end of 2012 now!

They are out there, and they have friends!

[AaronG]

I'm going to get more 10c and $2 to see what I can get

It's crazy isn't it that it's nearly 2013 and some of us are still chasing 2011 coins!  :scratch_one-s_head:

[Pedro]

Looks like the 2011 $2 has snuck up on us.

Well done Naomi on collecting a pile of them!

I think someone else (enworb?) found one recently too.
