Noodling finds

[Nevol]

My source of $1 coins for noodling is shrinking! Local laundrette banks around $1200 to $1500 at least every week (sometimes twice). They have just upgraded their dryers and they now take $2 coins; last banking was $700 of $1 and $500 of $2. No doubt they will get new washers soon and they will probably be $2 coins only as well.
Is it worth the time to noodle the $2 coins? Not as many varieties as other coins and only two commemoratives (see trout's post above).

That's a bit of a bugger! See how you go and if after a couple weeks you think it's not worth it, just try to get your Banks (all 2 of them) to keep you supplied with $1.  Not all that easy I guess in a country town.

I am in the same boat.   Went to change my coins at a particular CBC Bank and they have removed the bag coin machine for a box coin count machine.

Result, no more coin swaps.

Bugger.

What do you mean "bag coin machine" and "box coin machine"?
The only machine where I have seen what happens after the coins go into the machine, the security company comes and wheels away little trolleys from inside the machine and puts empty trolleys into the machine.

Certainly gives laundering money a whole new perspective!

(I promise I won't comment on the 'shrinking' or the 'rotating' coins :angel:).

You could mention the ones with soap scum and green spots on them. Laundry powder is rather corrosive.

When the bottom doors are opened, one can see plastic bags/sacks, two for each coin denomination hanging there.   The coins are sorted, counted and drop into the bags/sacks.   When the bag has the required number of coins in, the counting machine stops and a teller has to come along and change the full bag for an empty.   And so the circuit continues.

Haven't seen any coin count machines with bins in them before.

:yahoo: love ya work mate :friends: :laugh2: you have to look harder hon, suss the 2012 20 cent you have above and look at the top of the '0' for some squiggles and I think there might be some on the 2013 if not yell out and I'll find one of them as well and another is chogm and look at the R in dollar and you'll see a weak strike (and yes very hard finding errors on chogm's), nearly every coin has multiple errors, I should have told you about them all but I thought it would be more fun for you to look and go OOOOOOO and I'm so stoked that you didn't have some so now I'm working on the next batch so sorry for holding out but I hope it was worth me keepin me big mouth shut :winkextra: And see, they think I'm full of it when I say I find melts and things like that all over all sorts of coins so I'm glad some one else can confirm that I find what I say I find, unlike some people here I am pretty honest I'm sure I have some 5 cent melts as well somewhere so I'll try and find them for you :good: Oh and what did you think of the packing and being able to just pop them out and was it ok as in no coins come loose? Chees AJ Oh that was the '2' sorry and not the '0' on the 20 cent

OK, rechecked, have 2 x 2012 20c & 1 x 2013 20c with the marks above the 2.  Can't see any difference in the R on the CHOGM coins, they all appear normal, but unless letters are missing completely I don't usually bother with die fill.

What are 'melts'? Is that your name for what I now refer to as a DeLam Die?

Re the packing, it was easy to get the coins out, there was one floating loose, but otherwise OK.

Hi Nevol, thanks for that and yeah sorry mate with the chogm as it's just a weak strike not like a missing letter and thank you, if the coins come loose I'll go back to cardboard on both sides, just had it there and thought I'd try something different Yeah what I call a melt you call a DeLam Die :blush2: see I do find them on other coins but never really worried about them but I'll save them for you but not the 09 $1 unless I find a better one and gee you take good pic's and wish I could get them like that :good:

Noodled 500 x $1 and 2000 x 50c coins this day and besides a 1998, 2008 and 2010 Rabbit Ear, (the first for ages), I also found the following:



It is a 1985 coin.   A nice, severe planchet fault.

[Unicorn]

That's a ripper Goldie! It didn't miss much!

[ausjack]

Nice one GS, I've slowly been finding more NCLT and here's my latest and think it's about every 3 maybe 4K of dollar coins to find one so pretty hard up here or down depending on where you are


oh and of course it's the cheapest according to the books but that's always my luck :dash1:

[Goldseeker]

NCLT's have slowed tremendously down here now, haven't found one in weeks

The error above is the first for weeks.

[Ozcoins]

That is because you have already collected them all Goldy!
More seriously they seem to have slowed down a bit for me too.

I have no problem whatsoever finding NCLT coins, I can eBay Noodle them in a heartbeat :laugh2::dance2:

[ausjack]
