How are all the noodlers going?

Where are these new effigies?

Have finally got around to noodling a couple of times of late and not a Jody Clark in sight in any denomination (I don't usually noodle $2s).

From six rolls of 5c pieces I kept a 1989 New Zealand, a 1979 Fiji and two 2019 JC (for now). From two rolls of 20c pieces I kept a Bradman.

"Who's been eating my porridge noodling my coins" said father bear.

I purchased $200 of 50¢ coins, in $10 bags, the other day. Sat down to noodle them this morning;
•six bags had coins all facing the same way and every one a coat of arms revere,
•two bags same alignment but all commemoratives -ten each of two different dates,
•one bag only had 19 commemoratives of two dates,
•several other bags had 18 or 19 coat of arms.

I have done my usual "heads and tails" sort and will still look through them but I not expecting much in the way of keepers.

[JeffH]

Reporting the result. Keepers are;
•1970 Cook VF-EF
•1981 Charles and Diana EF
•1988 Tall Ships VF
These came from the one $50 bundle that had the usual, random selection of years and mixed commemoratives.

I have put noodling on hold since last week. Part of our only venture out if absolutely necessary regime.
Instead sorting out what I have -plenty accumulated that I have said "must check /sort those sometime". Well it is now 'sometime'.
I gather, from other posts, several forum members are doing much the same.

Our banks are not ordering in coins at the moment

[JeffH]

I think the same here. What they have is just whatever comes over the counter. So chances are I could get some coins that I have already looked at anyway.

[Ozcoins]

Yes Jeff, there has been no noodling here for some time.
Also only leaving the house for things that are necessary.

Probably not the right topic but just the other day I picked up the first Jody Clark obverse coin in circulation that I have ever seen here in south east Queensland. Just a dollar and already too battered to consider keeping. I don't go out of my way to get bags of coins to search through but I check my change regularly and I get a fair bit because I pay cash for most things.
So where are they hiding?
Who's seeing heaps?

[Triggersmob]

Not seen any in Perth yet, but not seen many 2019 or even 2018 coins yet.

[JeffH]

Only two seen here -central NSW.

[Pedro]

Haven't seen any JC coins in Sydney as yet.

I saw a 5c pieces earlier in the year (in South East Queensland) but haven't used any cash in a few weeks to get change.

Obviously some limit that you've exceeded, but I have no idea what steps you need to take to clear the problem.

Maybe some clever clogs will have the solution.  :scratch_one-s_head:
