Went through some 5c pieces and got a 2016 anniversary but nothing else.
Went through some 20c pieces for nothing. Barely any commemoratives either.

Mister T

Six rolls of 50c pieces (I normally go more but the machine jammed) yielded - a 2001 Qld and another 2000 incuse flag.

Great work Mr T ! :good:
What was the incuse's condition like?

Mister T

Could be better - not too much wear but a few stains on both sides.

Mister T

I went through some 5c pieces - I kept two 1995 New Zealand 5c pieces.
Plenty of 2017 and 2018.

Mister T

Went through some 50c pieces - a Norfolk Island. Lots of 2017 but no 2018 or 2019.
Went through some 20c pieces and found a 1967, 1985 and 1986 New Zealand. There were a couple of nice 1981s, plenty of 2017 and 2018 and a few 2019 (a couple of the 2019s were already grimy).

Mister T

Good haul today:
From a roll of 5c pieces I got a 1972.
From 12 rolls of 20c pieces I got a Queensland and two Northern Territorys, two UNs another nice 1981.
From five rolls of 50c pieces I got two 1970s and another Norfolk Island.

Gee that was heaps better than what you got the other day Mr T! :good:

One 72 out of a roll is great!

Good result. Much better than I have achieved -local bank has not had any coins this week that Have not already noodled.

I am starting to suffer withdrawal symptoms (pun intended). Alleviated slightly because i had to go to Mudgee on Friday and got five rolls each of 20¢, 50¢ and $1 from the change machine.
I can't get more as some of the staff know me and check my change withdrawals. After getting several hundred dollars of coins the first time I was reprimanded, twice by different staff members next two time I visited my local branch. Told to keep my withdrawals to a nominal sum, say around $100, as the machine is intended for commercial customers such as shops and pubs to use. [TRUE STORY]
There was an implied threat I would be in trouble if I ignored this advice. I am not sure what the trouble could be -is it possible for them to blacklist my card?

So living in a small town where everyone knows nearly everyone else has lots of advantages but not in this instance.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

Gee that's pretty ordinary eh Jeff! (Not unexpected though ..... insert multiple spanish inquisition puns here). My anxiety disorder has enough trouble getting a bulk bag, but to suffer it from a dispenser would be met with ....... the unexpected.

Yes when it rains it pours! It's felt like a bit of a drought lately.

There was also a 2016 anniversary 20c too.

Found a 2001 COF $1 yesterday that had a rotation error of 93 degrees.   A nice find.

I have found a 2007 Harbor Bridge $1 "S" mint mark.
A 1998 rabbit ear $1.
And what I think may be a 2000 mule $1. What do you think?

Wow Benny-penny, great find!

How long ago did you find it and approx where in Oz? (Just the city will do). Nice condition too.  Is the rev in the same condition?

BTW, :welcome: to the ACF.

Thanks Nevol,

I wasn't 100% sure if it was real because the inner rim seems to stop just between the 'H' in Elizabeth and the first 'I'. So do you think it's maybe slightly off centre? The reverse is in much the same condition and I found it yesterday in Lake Macquarie in NSW. The funny thing is it was only my third ever $500 bag that I searched because I was only looking for a 2019 'A' to complete my set. Now for the important question how much do you reckon it is worth? I must also say that I am only sixteen years old so I'll be happy with whatever price you tell me. Here is a photo of the reverse.

Thanks Ben
