How are all the noodlers going?

Goldseeker · July 19, 2018, 08:08:32 PM

Since several of my local Commonwealth Banks have now moved fro coin count machines to coin count machines with bins, I can no longer get the large loose plastic bag of $500 worth of $1 coins. Likewise the $0.50 and $0.20 bags.

I am told to go to the hole in the wall and deposit notes for rolled coijns.

Some joke that is.

My local bank told me to do that and the machine states that maximum amount of exchange is $1,000.

What crap, each time I have used these holes in the wall for rolled coin I can only get $180.00 rolled coins at a time.

People lining up behind me keep asking if I can make way. Sorry, I got here first and then more time when the rolls run out, one has to wait ages for a refill and start again.

Painful.

If you continue, yes! There are a lot worse ways to pass a bit of time. :winkextra:

To be honest Bruce the rolls are the better way to receive them

I don't mind the machines as I don't go for huge quantities but the 50c rolls have a real tendency to get jammed.

Glad you're getting coins to noodle. Last three times I have called into my bank (only branch in town) the response is "Sorry, we don't have any spare coins." Although they did offer me $100 of 10¢ coins after a think about it yesterday.

10 cent pieces don't have much to offer...

Plenty of small cuds on the reverse if you have good eyes (or a loupe) but not worth the bother. I declined politely.
I save up all our loose change and, when I have a container full go through them. Mostly look for 2011 10¢ but slim pickings with them.

Mister T · July 26, 2018, 07:59:26 PM

After not going through anything for a while I looked through $80 worth of 50c pieces and found a 2001 Queensland, 2001 South Australia (don't see many of these) and a 1988 Bicentenary.

:angel: 10 cent errors: :winkextra:

There are various degrees of rotated 1966, collar errors in 1988, 1999, 2001, and 2006.

That's good from $50 Kel. It seems to be in good nick too. :good:

I try and grab a mixed bag of $500 from the Comm Bank over the weekend. Tend to look at the $2, $1, 50c and 20c as they have the commemoratives to find as well. Been getting a few Comm Games $2 and the odd $1 and very rarely the $1 2016 Dec Currency and picked up a $1 2018 Anzac last weekend. Kids think I'm nuts but it's a way to relax and I can feel like a King in my Parlour for a while. Trying to build up a few decent sets of 2001 Federation coins but in over 12 months only have 9 sets of 50c and 4 of the 20c.
