Yes, AS, the first is always a goodie. Been picking the 50s up very regularly in noodles a few at a time.

I have a feeling that the $2 and $1 changeover coins may be a limited issue because that is the way RAM seems to do things lately :angel:

Not sure if the $1 and $2 coins have actually started flowing yet. Because there will be another ANZAC 100 years issue of $1 this year that may mean not so many $1 decimal anniversary will be issued.
I have only seen a few 20¢ and 50¢ yet.

I have a prepaid order for a couple of rolls of each of the $2 and $1 coins and I think they will be released in October :ok:

The RAM's media release earlier in the year indicated that 5m of each changeover denomination was going to be released into circulation.

With an ANZAC $1 and more coloured $2s to come (supposedly 12m of the Olympic $2s) it would seem that something may be low mintage - the $2 Elder?

Could also be a lower mintage $1 but I have no idea which one - the standard $1 or the ANZAC. All guesswork at this stage unless somebody has a source in the right place.

Our local Aldi had rolls of the $2 elder coins. Had to break open a roll for the car wash.

car wash

my car would have a nervous breakdown if i took her to a car wash

she went once when the apple tree + cockatoos = little buried green car event left the car in a total encrusted mess

i reckon she is still afraid of the big high pressure hose ... he he

[ausjack]

Still no 2016's 'sigh':s

Ha har RG, I think mine would freak out as well as I've had my ute from new in 2002 and it wouldn't have had a dozen washes yet :angel: :mocking: The beauty of being white :good: If it gets washed once every few years it's doing well but there have been a couple of years where it got washed twice but never to a car wash.
