Mr Squiggle - Woolies Coins

[brismike]

They have used the new effigy on the coins that are stamped on the Gallery Press at the mint. I expect that they will also use it at the various RAM popups during the year on Coins Stamped with the MAP Counterstamp, plus the (B), (M) and (S) counterstamps they do at the Agricultural shows etc.

Apparently the $2 and the 1cent coins have IRB Obverse but the $1 coins have the JC Obverse. Possibly the first set of this type released with 2 different effigies?

Interesting that the Possum Magic Set was three $2 coins and four $1 coins plus a 1 cent. Face value $10.01
Where this Mr Squiggle Set is four $2 coins and two $1 coins plus a 1 cent. Face value also $10.01

But whatever way you look at it this set only costs you $4.99, a bargain at half the price!

No sets left by the time I got there, but I'll try again later.
Picked up a few loose coins though.

Don't wish to sound grumpy but the same old problems still exist today as they have done in the past with like issues
such as 'No Coins' or 'We can't do that' or Woolworths staff simply don't want to comply with a simple request

[brismike]

You are right ... I went to two different Woolies today and when I asked if I could get a couple of Squiggle coins in change from a $5 note when purchasing a 90 cent item the first one had a face that looked like I was taking it out of her own pocket, she grudgingly gave me one.

But the second one I went to I gave her a $10 note for the same 90 cent purchase and she was very chatty and nice and gave me four of them in change.

Some people just should not work in customer serving positions and others are a natural at it and make you feel good.

I don't buy anything. I just ask at the service desk.
Met a nice young lass last night and she told me that
one of the ladies that works there, also collects coins
and had found a $1 mule. She went through a couple
of tills for me and I ended up with 12 coins. I told her
I was sending them all over the world and she was interest
to know where I was sending them. I hope she is there
next week too.
