Hey Everyone!
I thought I'd open this space up to talk all things coins!
I've noticed that we have a few interested coin collectors.
@Mustang67 @Harmonium @Shaz51 @Snowie Feel free to tag anyone.
I'm a bit gutted that I missed out on the Bluey coin collection. I was waiting eagerly for it 😞

Yes @Mustang67 ,
I put in a ballot for the Bluey coins 😞 Sad I missed them.
Anyway, feel free to remind me of when the tube comes out!

I learned yesterday that when we discontinued using the 1 & 2 cent coins, they were returned to the mint and melted down, and they were then made into bronze medals for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. How's that for recycling.

Hi @Shaz51
That's awesome. I have no idea about pre-decimal currency, so not sure if it's would be worth anything. But it is good for historical reasons.

Hi @Shaz51
If you go on the RAM website (https://www.ramint.gov.au) and click on the menu icon and click Explore and then Circulating coins, and click on the $1 coin, a list of all $1 coins will come up showing their design and how many were minted.

Hi @Shaz51
I have a ton of pre decimal coins from Ireland with weird names like farthing, half crown, truppence and florin, wonder is there any value to them. We used to play with them as kids, my Dad had a few bell jars of them.........Asgard
