How are all the noodlers going?

[jozk123]

The NCLY appear to be in very good nick possibly from a collection.

Welcome to the world of Noodling Fred.  

Wait till you find an upset or even a MULE.

Good luck.

Toongabbie, my old stamping ground next to Wentworthville where I used to live.

Bruce I'm still at Wenty, but I've moved closer to the leagues club.
So if your ever in the neighbourhood it would be nice to catch up.

Hi Goldy, funny thing about mules, I found one back in 2005 and was so dumb I did not know what it was and nearly tossed it back into the ice cream tub of dollars and spent it. It just looked a bit strange to me as the rim was odd. Its aUNC grade with lustre. At that time we had an ice cream tub and used to throw all the 1 and 2 dollars into that for the milkman/papershop ect ect. Every now and then I would tip out the contents and keep the shiny ones....so dumb.  A few years ago I was given a beaten up one in change at the supermarket when we still used cash, could not believe it. I guess there would be a few still out there. Nowadays apart from the bread and paper shop we just tap the smart card. We have to go to the bank if we want any cash, sign of the times eh?

I hardly use cash anymore. That's why I turned to noodling, because it took too long to find what I wanted in change. Most of the coins released before 2011 had relatively high mintages, so I was still able to find them in change, even if it took a few years. However, many of the coins released from 2011 onwards have very low mintages, so it simply isn't practical for me to wait for them to appear in change. Some examples - 2011 10c, 2011 $2, 2013 Coronation $2, 2014 MoR $1, 2015 ANZAC $1, 2015 ANZAC $2, 2016 Changeover $1.

Yes, I am having the same feeling of no luck mules.   I haven't found one since 10 April 2015.

But I keep noodling and try and find the next surprise whatever that might be.

I have done 2 x lots of 1500 Dollar coins today for:

1 x 2016 Rabbit ear, (Large)
1 x 2010 Rabbit Ear/Spew Roo
1 x 2019 "U"
1 x 1996 Sir Henry Parkes Rotation
1 x 2019 "A".

Not much there to yell and scream about.

I don't know about that. The rotated Sir Henry Parkes coins are pretty scarce. :winkextra:

[JeffH]

What I need is 2019 "S" dollars but I have not picked up any of those 2019 issues despite noodling several $k in the last few weeks. I don't think any have exfiltrated the capital cities yet. In fact, it is quite a few years since any bank around here has received any of those little bags with uncirculated coins of any description -used to be relatively common once, albeit they were usually two or three years old.
Would I correct in assuming the "S" is harder to find than the others?

I do have some "A" and "U" but not from noodling.

[Goldseeker]

Same same here jeffh.

I have 10 full sets put away and given away something like 15 sets at face value.

I have a stack of "A" and "U"s if any person wants some at face value.

I might take you up on that Goldie.
i haven't found any yet,ill be grabbing $500-$1000 in $1 tomorrow from the bank,fingers crossed.

[Goldseeker]

If one is looking for bags of the A?U?S coins, they are in a plain see through bag containg $20s.

All of mine have come from Woolworths/Safeway stores.

I have noodled only a couple of the A and U's.

Another 1500 x $1 coins for a haul of:
I x 2018Commonwealth Games (Tennis and ball games);
1 x1998 Rabbit Ear (large);
1 x 2010 Rabbit Ear/Spew Roo.

Not much to shout about.

Went through some 20c and 50c pieces.
Got a 2001 Qld 50c cent, as well as a 1991 and a 2000 Royal Visit.
From the 20c pieces the only keeper was a 2016 decimal currency (been a while since I last saw one).

It seems that Woollies is still the mint's preferred distributor of commemorative coins. I wonder how much they got paid this time...
