Got some 2013 dollars in change today. I've been reluctant to open any of my UNC bags, so these are my first. Two of them have a pair of 'spears'... flat surface cuds much like you see on platypus bills in various years. One from the large roo's nose, the other from the nearby tail. Both go to the middle of the big fella's back, where there is a small pointy cud/crack. I expect that later examples may well show a large cud at this location, so keep an eye out. A third coin has a crack at the juncture of the big roos leg and belly, much like we've seen previously.

One of my UNC bags was torn, so I had a look at the coins... six examples which not only have the same error above, but also a jagged crack from the rear tip of HM's neck to the heel of the L. I've never seen one in this location that was longer than a couple of mm.

Other coins have a largish flat surface cud on the big roo's back. Plus a couple of strikethrough flaws, but they don't count. ;)

Quote from: 'Fulvio' pid='41585' dateline='1392347201'Pics involve much procrastination and messing about, and therefore take longer to materialise. By which time someone else, having been alerted to the error, will post better pics than I would anyway.

Well after several adjournments, postponements, delays and a deferment, the ACFPC (the procrastination committee) got it's finger out, found one and took a pic. (Well about 30 pics and this was the best of them until we break out the cud-o-scope .... which will require the committee to convene beforehand ..... A name other than "McDuck's Quack" will also be discussed at this meeting).

*many posts deleted* So you lot that have filled up most of the last few pages with post after post of in-house jokes and assorted carp, can I please ask what ANY it has to do with this thread topic?  Keep it on topic so that members other than you few can get some information out it rather than you using it as your personal playground.  We have a chit chat forum.  Keep your chit chat in there.

Not exactly "found in change", but I did get just under 3Kg of UNC UN and Bradman 20¢ today. Very happy little camper, am I. :)

And I'm thinking of a way to share the spoils too... stay tuned. ;)

We could all have a game of cricket and the winning team gets a Bradman coin each.
The loosers could get a UN coin IF they are good sports about loosing the game.:fans:
