How are all the noodlers going?

[JeffH]

A friend of my wife had a tub of old change and didn't know what to do with it. My wife said to get some change bags, count it out and cash it in but the friend was dubious.
So wife bought them and said Jeff can count and bag them. It was a little over $80 of mostly 5¢ and 10¢ coins. Highest date In them was 2010.

Sorted and bagged them this morning and found a 1972 5¢ and a 1951 sixpence (bent with scrapes).
There were a lot of ring ins;
•NZ 5¢
•Three nickels
•Eight dimes
•Eight quarters, four of them statehood or national park issues.

They are probably the best, as they have not yet been through the now automated process by cash suppliers providing rolls to the banks.

Other than the now out-dated New Zealand weight/size equivalents, you just don't see the amount of foreign coins outside of local bank bags.

Some nice find there Jeff.

Besides a donation dollar, I found a 1987 New Zealand 20c in a family member's change tray.

[Mister T]

I got a 1994 rabbit ears from a roll of dollars. I also had a roll of 50c pieces but the only interesting thing was an aboriginal languages 50c.

[Goldseeker]

I went through some $1, $2 and $0.50c on a daily basis, to be precise, $2,000 worth at a time.

One of those days provided 91 Aboriginal Flag coins.

A few days later, another batch of 26 of them.

I am now keeping a coin bag of 50 coins of each of the coloured $2 coins and putting any further finds back into circulation.

If anyone wants an y of these coloured coins, both $1 and $2 coins, just PM me with your requirements.   Cost, face value but you pay the postage.  

I cant supply any of the Qantas coins, Indigenous Soldier coins and several of the earlier coloured coin issues.

[Mister T]

Good haul!

[Mister T]

I got an ambulance service coloured two dollar coin from a friend's change yesterday. Unexpected.

[Mister T]

And a Wags the Dog $2 from a family member yesterday.

[Mister T]

I went through some 5c and 20c rolls and had some luck - an NSW, Victoria and NT 20c from 11 rolls.
A few 2021, 2020 and 2019 JC 20c pieces as well. Also another whole roll of 2021 5c pieces.

[Unicorn]

Nice work!!!! Your efforts were rewarded

[Mister T]

Agreed! I'm always happy with just one Centenary of Federation 20c.

[Mister T]

I went through some more 5c and 20c pieces - no keepers from the 5c pieces but I got a Bradman 20c and a 1976 New Zealand 20c.

[Triggersmob]

I have kept 99 Bradman 20c coins. That was his batting average.

Steve, now you need one with a clip to make 99.94!
