Yeah I've been surprised at the good strike rate from such small amounts - I'm sure a standard sack full of coins from the bank isn't normally this bountiful.

I got 5 x $1 rolls from the bank yesterday. Not much to report from that lot, but did find a 2014 MOR. Not the best condition though.

Got some more rolls today, so will report back later if I find anything interesting.

Today I went through $2,000 worth of $2 coins for the following:



Not bad for one day searching.

Now if anyone wants any of these coloured coins that find, please pm me.   Cost $2.50 per coin plus postage.

PM sent.

I'm trying to get about a dozen each of the 75th Anniversary of WW2 and the Firefighter $2
for my friends overseas.

I would like to get just one of each with no luck to date.

I will keep trying though.

Makes you wonder where the people on Ebay are getting all these coin rolls and bags from. :(

And the answer would be employees at security companies like Chubb, Armaguard, Prosegur and the like that have cottoned on to the fact that there is more to be made selling to we suckers who collect them.

I have just noodled through $240 x $1 coins for a surprising find of 1 x Sir Henry Pparkes Rotation and 1 x COF Rotation at 290 degrees.

First lot of $1 coins I have done since Oct 2019.

Lucky me.

That's better than my $1,500 of $1 coins I just finished -two 2008 double tails and a 2010 spew roo.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

Wow Goldie! You must be blessed!!!! 

The Parkes are such a hard find, but you've had considerable fortune.

Yes, I have been very lucky in finding these.

But after going through just short of 15,000 x $2 coins in the past few weeks, I still have not found a an Anniversary of the end of WW11 which I would like to find.   In fact, I have not seen one anywhere here in Victoria.

I got some rolls yesterday - I haven't cracked them yet but I can see some 2020 5c pieces I think.

gweidion

From what is available on fleabag there appears to be no shortage of 2020 5, 10 and 20 cent pieces and $2 coins but haven't seen any 50 cent coin bags or rolls for sale or any MoR dollars so those would be the ones to watch out for I imagine.

Just spotted some Armaguard 50 cent rolls at ridiculous prices.

Ozcoins

It could be that there are not many of the 50c or $1 made,  or maybe they are just not released yet?
I think there must have been a big drop in the usage of coins, so maybe they have made less, or just not released them yet?

Mister T

We'll see - the release of the unsaleable dollar coin rolls by the mint last year suggests that there was a need for dollar coins at least.
