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 😞

Hi @Shaz51
Do you happen to have the 2012 red poppy $2 coin or the 2013 purple coronation $2 coin. In good condition, these are very valuable.

Hi @tyme
Do you have any of the round 50c coins from 1966? Did you know that they were made from 80% silver, until they realised it costs too much to make the coin, so that's why the 50c coin changed in design and metal composition. Depending on condition, they can be worth between $15 - $35.

Hi @rav3n
Fingers crossed. You might have some valuable coins in there once opened. Do you know what to look for in coins, that might be worth a lot of money?
This year 2000 $1 coin is called a mule coin as on the head side it was struke with a 10c coin die instead of the $1 coin. This makes the coin look like it has 2 rims. One has been sold for $6,900.
There are heaps of things to look out for. A double headed 5c coin. What they call a wavy 20c coin
This can be worth around $800. I always check 20c coins in my change.

Hi @tyme @Shaz51 @Asgard @Harmonium @rav3n
I do have an Australian Decimal Coin & Note values book, which is the latest version from last year.
It only gives you the value of the coin (haven't looked at the notes section) in mint condition.
So if anyone wants to know the value of a particular coin from 1966 onwards, just let me know.
I think the book is at my mother's at the moment, so will find it within the next week to have it on me.
I hope you are all well and having a good day 😊

Hi @Mustang67 thanks for sharing this info with me, I'm still in awe that certain coins are worth so much, I wish I'd been more careful about who I gave my coins to (I was quite careless and would trade coins without whoever asked when I was in school).
My mum's money box will probably take a couple years to open, she's determined to fill it to the top but its hard to fill when she deals with card more than cash. But when we do open it, I'll be sure to come back to this thread and be careful with my coins 😊
