There's was a steady flow of coronation coins getting around Adelaide earlier this year where you could find a few a week in change. They seem to be drying up a bit now, but not gone. One of my banker friends tells me that they get on average 1-2 per roll they open up at the bank. Much the same for the 2012 poppy, drying up but not extinct yet.

I have quite a large collection of $2 coins.

AJ - I'll say 152. :angel:

I have never seen a coronation $2 coin in circulation in Sydney.

How many guesses are we allowed? I guessed under $100 before. If a second one is allowed, I'd guess $102.

Is it like the Price is Right? The winning guess is closest but under? Or just closest?

Nah ya gotta be spot on kchan and when we normally do something like this it's normally one go a day but it's been a while and people are playing so as many as you like..with in reason that is :winkextra:

Since everyone was going for mid-100, I was going to guess just over 100 to cover everything under that.

Well... there goes that strategy.

if you look at what I post some times I give little hints like I said it was over 120 on the bottom of the first page so todays hints are that it's between triggersmob and gac guess, hope it helps

JeffH · August 21, 2014, 04:41:44 AM

What about 141?

ausjack · August 21, 2014, 05:02:57 AM

JeffH · August 21, 2014, 05:11:08 AM

Hmmmm. Keep your fruitful comments to yourselves. If Mark sees this he'll probably nuke it.

Not necessarily AJ. I keep about 10 of each year / each denomination quite apart from errors. But I don't hoard them in the hundreds.

Rim cuds used to be the easiest to find on $2, way more common than the $1 Rim Cuds, but I can't say if that's still the case, as I haven't really noodled any quantities of either coin for over 4 yrs.
