2016 anniversary of decimal currency

DarkDaiver · May 06, 2016, 10:24:46 AM

Hello, fellow coin enthusiasts. I'm in Australia for 6 months and wanted to get as much circulating commemorative coins as possible. I've read that RAM released special designs for each coin in 2016, but so far I found only 50c. Are 5, 10, 20 cents and 1, 2 dollar coins for this anniversary also going to be released in circulations? RAM is not very clear about it.

To the forum

The 5, 10, 20 and 50c coins have already been released and the 1 and 2 dollar coins will be released before the end of the year .

Thank you! I 50c were in circulation for a couple of months... 5 10 20c are nowhere to be found

Maybe the mintage quantity is extremely low?

Well too bad I won't be here by the end of the year...

don't despair and keep in touch when you get back home.
I am pretty sure one of the members here will be able to send you the coins you were unable to find :good:

Thank you! I will. Actually there are few other coins I didn't find. Some of the Century of Federation and colored 2 dollars. How possible is it to find someone in Brisbane to change the coins? preferably for the foreign ones...

You have to have at least 50 valid posts before you can access the buy/sell section on this site, It's a "safety Net" thing :ok:

Will they ban me for too much activity? even if it is not SPAM?

I doubt it. Since they have no idea where Sydney is.

Changeover Tour is rightly doing the regional Cities of Australia and will be doing WA

trout · May 08, 2016, 12:47:39 AM

I have asked if the tour will reach regional WA on the "Shaping your collection" website.
I have three grandkids that would love to go and the other 16 will probably just run amok at the venue :angel:
One of the eldest ones "Tayah" has already filled a PP album and I dropped off another "Starter pack" to her today and she asked me if the tour was coming to Geraldton, I told her I would do my best to find out for her.
