I haven't done much lately - I found a 2017 Military Cross 20c in my change jar - clearly I hadn't bothered to look at the reverse and had planned on spending it.
I looked at a roll of dollar coins I've had sitting around for a couple of months and found a 2019 S and a 2017 Possum Magic.

I found a COURAGE 20c the other day going through the grandies money boxes.

I really haven't done any serious noodling since September last year.

I need to sought out banks with bags of coins rather than rolled coins./

I went through some 5c pieces - I found a 1969 New Zealand and a 2019 JC and not a whole lot else - there was a nice 1981 and a really nice 1988 too.

I went through some 20c pieces and found a 1974 New Zealand, a 1979 New Zealand, a 2001 small SD, a 2016 anniversary of decimal currency and 2019 JC (first one).

I'll really be keen to see the 2019 JC mintage figures at the end of the year. Apart from a single battered dollar the only ones I've seen are in pop up bags.

Mister T

I don't think I've got enough this year to know what's out there.
Anyone seen any 2020 stuff yet?

Nope, not yet but the kind of places I'd expect to find some (like the Leagues Club) are all closed still or only trading some meals. Not enough demand in the bar etc.

Approx 2 wks ago, going through my son's change, I got a JC 2020 5c, very carefully put it in a little ziplock bag with date & JC on a little bit of paper, and now what have I got? Nothing! 'tis gone! Woe is me.  :shock:

... in a very safe place. I suspect a few of my error coins have found the same hiding spot.  :-/

When you find that spot some of my coins might be there too. Don't know where else they would be.

I actually have a set of 8 plastic bottles for coins dated 2013 - 2019 (2 for 2016) and although I looked in the 2019 bottle, I think I'll have to check it again as I reckon that's my best bet. It's time to swap the 2013 one over for a 2020

I have so many safe places it's ridiculous, as I never 'find' anything I've put away 'safe'.  I often think to myself 'I'll remember where I put that' but now I know I'll have to change that thought to add 'yeah right!'

We sometimes have a cleanup and put items away in an organised manner. Guaranteed that, next time you want something, a big search eventuates -never put away where you later expect to find it.
I ask myself "Where would we have logically have put that?" but it is never that spot at all!

I'm so the same ....... I can never find where I've put things that I think was an organised spot! I spent 4 hours the other day looking for a docket that I know I put in a safe spot .... needless to say, I haven't found it yet  :s

Oh nice - time to hit the 5c pieces.

Funnily enough I remember loosing a coin a few years ago and just last year someone in my family found it and two others (still in the plastic sleeves they'd been mailed in) to top of a cupboard - no idea how they got there.
