2015 Circulating Coins

Not much here really but they do take ages for coins to get here and no ANZAC yet.

For me 5c pieces are common enough, barely seen any 10c pieces, lots of 20c pieces, lots of 50c pieces, a few plain $1 and a few plain $2. Still no ANZAC $1 though.

I've found all of the circulating 2015 coins in Brisbane, but the ANZAC $1 and $2 coins require some serious noodling. The Remembrance Day $2 coin was plentiful late last year, but is now drying up. They're still much easier to find than the ANZAC $1 and $2, though.

The 5c and 10c are also quite scarce - especially the 10c, which was common late last year and early this year, but is now drying up as well. I used to find 4-5 in every $50 worth of 10c coins, but now I'm only finding 2-3. I keep almost every one I find because I'm expecting it to be a low mintage.

Thanks, I'll keep my eyes out for them then.
I think Jeff said he's seen plenty (not sure where he is) but I figure they'll show up sooner or later.

Have you seen any large SD 5c pieces for 2015?

Also, are you the Hercules from Coin Community?

Just done a bag of 50's, $1 & $2 and found a lot of 2015's of all and will get 5's, 10's & 20's next week to see how I go with them.

I've only ever seen one reverse on the 2015 5c - the Type 6 one listed by Brissyboy on the CCF.

Yes. I signed up because I have a penchant for mules, and I didn't want to confuse people by changing my username.

How'd you go? I've just finished noodling another batch of 10c coins, and I was surprised by the number of 2015s I found. I usually only get 3 or 4 per batch, but today, I found 11, which smashes the previous record of 8 I set back in February. This is good news, because it means they're not drying up as quickly as I thought they were.
