Yes I think I've done quite well the last few weeks. When it rains it pours I guess.

Found a $1 changeover coin recently

Also a 2019 one dollar that doesn't have an A U or S

Few police coins

And some '15 ANZAC dollars, and some NCLT dollars too

Thanks very much :D

I got to go through a family member's change tin and had some luck - from $125 of coins (mostly one and two dollar coins) I got a 2018 eternal flame $2, a 2014 remembrance $2, a 2012 non-coloured poppy $2, two 2019 A $1 coins, a 1998 rabbit ear $1 and a 1998C Howard Florey $1.

Unicorn

Pretty good job from $125!!! Well done! :good:

JeffH

I agree with Uni. I wonder if the person was inclined to be more likely to keep ones that looked a little different.
Or, if like me, the tin was raided when cash was short the poorer looking examples were picked to be spent.

No, just change from coffee etc - I couldn't believe my luck though.

I got a 1994 and 1995 New Zealand 5c piece from 12 rolls, and nothing from two 20c rolls.

Yesterday I got a $500 sealed bag of $1 coins from the bank.
Today, seeing it was raining, I cancelled the lawn mowing and decided to noodle those coins instead. Thought the bag didn't feel quite right when I picked it up to open it. So I weighed it -3619g. That's 19g for the bag and 3600g for the coins -only $400.
Took it back and suggested it was short and please count it. Yes, only $400 so they swapped it for another bag.
The other bag was one banked by the same customer; bank puts a cryptic note on the bag so they know who banked an already sealed bag and that makes sure they don't give me back one of mine. I weighed that one and 4518g.
Bank teller said she would keep the bag for later so I assume a discrete word will be had.

Wow Jeff, I'm glad you weighed it before opening it!

JeffH

No more than me. :rolleyes:

I dipped into my bank account to also buy the $400 back. So now I have $900 of coins I have not noodled yet.

Good luck with it! My guess (or hopeless prediction) for you, 1 x 2001 rotation, 4 alphabets, 1 NCLT, 1 x 1998 RE, 1 new effigy. :-)

JeffH

I am thinking "hopeless prediction"but will hold judgement for now.
You have form, of course, with predictions.

Yes, form, also known to be bad form, but I do like to have a guestimate :laugh2:
