I was working on it until I couldn't get bulk $1 coins any more.

Yes I could go for rolled coins but I hate the rolls. I just love loose coins.

I have 38 of the required 72 coins in a spare DANSCO supreme album.

Searched through some $2 coins last night. I was hoping for some "possum magic" coins.
No luck with those, but I found a 50 years $2 and a yellow Olympics coin.

It's too early, Ozcoins. It takes about a week for coins released at Woollies to appear in bags at the bank, and about a month for them to appear in rolls. My advice is to visit your local laundromat, because that's where most of them will end up first.

This is how the cycle works:

Mint -> Woollies -> Laundromat -> Bank Bags -> Armaguard Rolls -> Shops -> Laundromat -> ...

Thanks uni and herc.
(and Pedro for earlier on).

Hercules,
I think you are right that it is too early, maybe next time.

Phil must have cooked something nice for dinner (2014 20c) :biggrin:

Here's what appears to be a bubble on a 2015 50c. The coin has some of the frosting-like affect on the reverse that is not uncommon on the year's 50c.

I'm not convinced it isn't PMD - the circle appears to be almost perfectly round. Unfortunately I can't get a better angle to determine whether it is raised or not. The bubble does appear to sit over the top of part of the frosting attached to the reed edge. Ideas?
