How are all the noodlers going?

Hi to All,
Hope everyone had a great christmas.
Just thought I would update the page. I finally found a 1972 5 cent coin, quickly followed by another in the next bank roll.
Still haven't finished going through them all but you never know.

Great stuff Nick!

Thanks Pedro.
Didn't find any more but I did find a 2017 5 cent. Only missing 85, 86 in circulated now. Very exciting.  On to the 10s now.

1985 & 1986 5c were mint set only issues so you will be fortunate to find one of them noodling although very occasionally mint set only coins do turn up in change.

...... and don't we just love it when we do Pedro ..... even proofs!!!


Well done Nick with the 1972s ..... below is a link I use when determining if a coin/year has been issued into circulation.

Thanks Unicorn.  I keep the RAM site open on my desktop.  
Have also found ebay a useful tool. I see what people are selling and then research the hell out of it. I think I got lucky today.

I went through some 20c pieces and 5c pieces.

Nothing interesting from the 20c pieces (plenty of 2017 though), but there was a 1975 New Zealand.

I got two 2016 50 years of Decimal Currency 5c pieces (very unexpected),  1987, 1989, 1994 and 1995 New Zealand 5c pieces and only one 2017.

Two ramsheads last two days (one aUNC) and several Tall Ships (two at aUNC) plus a reasonable number of Centenary of Federation (mostly well worn) from $400 of 50¢ coins.

I haven't heard of anyone finding an 85 and 86 5c noodling ever and I know people who noodle these by the tens of thousands every week
Very true Pedro

Ditto .... ::good: .... 1991's are few and far between now (at least for me).

I went through some 5c pieces and 50c pieces.
Nothing in the 50c pieces, a New Zealand 5c piece and that was about it from what I've looked at.

Had a good haul recently - I got $12 worth of 5c pieces, $48 worth of 20c pieces and $60 worth of $1 coins and found:
1x 1972 5c
1x 1966 20c (EF+ but covered in something black)
1x 2001 Queensland 20c
1x 2001 New South Wales 20c
1x 2001 Australian Capital Territory 20c
1x 2001 Tasmania 20c
1x 1982 New Zealand 20c (EF+)
1x 2015 plain $1

Been a little while since I've got a 1975 5c piece and the Centenary of Federation haul made up for the zero I found in my last $48.

I just did $500 of $1 coins and found a few NCLT plus a rather crummy New Zealand $2 and not much else.
But one $100 bundle (5 x $20 bags) I think had been "pre-noodled" -one bag had 19 x mob of roos, another only 1 x MoR and the other three almost similar disparity between MoR and commemoratives. I don't know of another noodler locally but the bag was packed at the local branch. Could have just been someone with an accumulation checking them before cashing them in.
I always mark any bags I take back to avoid duplicate noodling of the same coins. Easy to happen with a branch in a small town.

I went through some 50c pieces - no 2017 at all but I got a Victoria and SA Centenary of Federation.
