1913 really was a busy year for numismatics and philately in Australia wasn't it? Of course they were also busy celebrating the centenary of the crossing of the Blue Mountains too!

Thanks Steve :heart: I have been too busy to keep up with all this stuff, glad to see someone on the ball

There was a coin that says {Benevolent Society } a quick search reveals that this is Australia first charity 200 years

I was in contact with the people celebrating the 100 Years of Commonwealth Stamps, there was talk that Australia post being involved in an event and I would think there would be a PNC for this one too
2013 50c Copper and Nickel Coin - 100 Years of Commonwealth Stamps

2013 50c Copper and Nickel Coin - 100 Years of Commonwealth Stamps ‘M’ Counterstamp
( I am going to try and get this at the event)

Also seen there were note coins too

I am too tired to figure out all the stuff at the moment, I will figure some stuff out when I get a break next week sometime.

? trout a little bit off there, I know where you are coming from and I got excited to about the thought of an aluminium bronze 50c too, but a closer look at the specification page says that they are copper nickel like circulation coins., maybe slightly wider 31.85mm (standard circulation are somewhat 31.51) probably wont be able to pick it with the naked eye.

Rather than constantly check the site I just set up an alert so if they post something with the words "currency determination" in the title I get an email the next morning.  So it's the lazy man's "eye on the ball".  The ball actually hits me in the head just to let me know it's there.

I like the idea od the Centenary of Banknote series, a 20c with part of a 10 shilling note, 20 cent with part of a 5 pound note and a 50 cent with part of a 1 pound note.

Not sure if this is a first.

Currency determination 2013 (2) came out overnight with a couple of $2 coins for the 60th anniversary of the Queens Coronation with the dates appearing as as Arabic numerals.

They sound like nice coins.  One has the letter "C" but no mention if a privy mark or mm.

They both appear to be coloured too.  Not being released for circulation?

Why the heck would we have arabic dates on an Australian coin!

Dates in Arabic numerals, not Arabic dates. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 are the Arabic numerals.-John

We might just have to wait and see what comes out.  According to Princeton Uni the term "Arabic numerals" is ambiguous:

"In English, the term Arabic numerals can be ambiguous. It most commonly refers to the numeral system widely used in Europe and the Americas. Arabic numerals is the conventional name for the entire family of related systems of Arabic and Indian numerals. It may also be intended to mean the numerals used by Arabs, in which case it generally refers to the Eastern Arabic numerals.......Eastern Arabic numerals (٠.١.٢.٣.٤.٥.٦.٧.٨.٩)"

I don't see why we would use the traditional Arabic numerals but by the same token I don't recall the descriptions referring specifically to the form of the numerals in the date before.  Usually it is included in the determination as "AUSTRALIA 2014" or similar.

Latest Currency Determination released overnight.

Some "Granny Bait" especially if you like the Adelaide Football Club in there but also some interesting stuff including the 2014 mm Dollar.  I thought they might have rushed something through for the Future King George II but doesn't look like it.

Looks like the 2014 mint and proof sets are going to contain a coloured and gold plated $1 MOR coin :good:

[purplepennyhunter]

Looks like another AFL coin for the winner of the Premiership as all the teams are listed.

I can't wait for the coloured Blowfly* it will go with my World Toilet Day commemorative $1 that I will have to talk them into minting.

No joke it's real
"A coloured image of a fly. The design includes a representation of eggs, larvae and pupae, the inscription 'dollar' superimposed on a part of the number '1' and a stylised representation of the designer's initials 'BK'."
