I'd be lucky to receive $20 a week in change these these days (cashless society) but I always can't resist having a look. This one came out of the machine at the supermarket and it caught my eye. No way its been circulating for 15 years:

Indeed top condition for a fifteen year old coin. That's why it pays to look at your change.
I think the reason many of the lower mintage coins turn up in such good condition is that people put them away when they first come out and much later they end up spending them.

[Hercules]

That's one of my favourite coins. It's such an honour to have it representing my home state!

[robbiegal]

we got a 1988 coin this week and the coin was near perfect as well

[Triggersmob]

Found a 1991 Ram's head 50c today.
Don't seem to find many of those any more.

[JeffH]

Indeed they are very few and far between lately.

The annoying thing about the ram's head coins is that the ones that have survived have all been damaged in some way. I put one back in the pond recently because the rim had a large dent in it, but the next one I found was covered in a nasty film that looked suspiciously like PVC. I haven't found any more since, but I've had lots of luck with the 1985s, so I remain hopeful.

The one I found today, actually is in pretty good shape. Does have black spot on it though.

[gnome]

Good find, I haven't found one for awhile now.

Yeah,i had a 4 litre ice cream tub full from the days of running a 24 hr Roadhouse,i sold many of the lesser grades for $5+ in the early days of Ebay.I haven't seen one in circulation for years and i often go thru. $50-$100 worth of change from the Bank,the 2001 State ones are also scarce,if you do find one its well worn.

[Cougar]

I received a 2013 $2 coronation coin in change!! It was in good condition also and reminded me of the excitement of when they first came out.

[Goldseeker]

Wifey gets heaps of $'s from the bank today and ended up finding a Blue and a Yellow Olympic games coin in a $2 roll of $50.

Lucky thing.
