Coin Collectors' Corner

Good morning all coin collectors.

I made sure that I was awake by 8.30am, so I could order the new 2025 $1 Toy Story Postal Numismatic Cover (PNC). This is to celebrates 30 years of Toy Story. See pictures below.

This Postal Numismatic Cover is highly collectable, featuring a pictorial envelope with a 2025 uncirculated AlBr $1.00 Tuvalu Coin.

In 2025, Toy Story, the ground breaking Pixar film that introduced audiences to Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and a world where toys come to life, celebrates its 30th anniversary. Released in 1995, it was the first feature-length film entirely created with CGI, revolutionising animation and storytelling. Its emotional depth, humour and heart warming message about friendship captivated audiences of all ages. Over the years, it's become a cherished classic, spawning sequels and merchandise and inspiring generations. Three decades later, Toy Story still shines.

I will include the link in case anyone is interested.

@Harmonium I found The Language of Flowers Collector Case on an Australian website at a price that I was willing to pay and I was so excited. When it arrived, I was disappointed, as I thought the Companion Book in English came with the case. I should have read the description better.

So my coins are nicely tucked away in the collector's case.

I have been looking online for the highly informative and beautifully illustrated 100-page companion book, written by renowned British gardening expert Juliet Roberts, but so far I haven't had any luck.

Nice coins @Mustang67 . I’m pleased because I slept for 7 1/2 hours the best in weeks. Back and neck don’t hurt either today.

I have done my physio exercises and my Spanish lessons.

Picking up some plants this afternoon hope the rain is not too heavy as I hate driving in heavy rain.

Reading another gardening magazine since it’s raining here.

Walked around the garden. Some seeds I planted last week have germinated already.

I hope you are having a good day.

@GezzaP I am glad that you are sleeping well lately. You must be doing something right, so keep up the good work.

You are so good with your physio exercises. I went to my physio about three weeks ago, as my back was so stiff. I also told her that my knees have been playing up ever since I had a car accident in December. They hit the area under the steering wheel. I have had knee issues for year and years (from doing too much ten pin bowling), but they had settled down. But since the accident, I can't do a lot without them starting to ache. So I told the physio. At the end of the session, she showed me some exercises to do for my knees and she made me do them in front of her, so she made sure I was doing them properly. Well OMG, after my appointment every time I had to bend my knees, I was in pain. And it was making me very frustrated. It took 3 days before my knees stopped aching. The physio sent me exercises to my phone for my back and knees, but after the pain I was in, after doing only a couple of movements, I wasn't game to do them again. I think I am just going to wait until the new physio that I want to start using, opens their clinic. They have special equipment that targets the exact location that needs to be strengthened.

Plus I can't get motivated to do much at the moment. My head is not in the right place.

Enjoy the rest of your day in the garden and reading your gardening magazine 🌻

@Mustang67!! I finally found my coin 😂… found some others too that I forgot about- well mum sent me some pics 😊

the first one is the one I was looking for 😀

(don’t think it would have much more value today but it’s sentimental, I won it from the Paralympian Don Elgin 🙏)

@MissGremlin @Cuddlebear @GezzaP @TAB @AlwaysMyself @rav3n @Jynx @tyme

 and some extras some other currencies 😀- I love the iguana one 2nd row first in the right, wonder what currency it is. Mum had packed it all away by the time I saw the pics haha.

Well done finding your lost coin @Chasingsunsets ! 😁

I've never seen one like that shark one - with colour! Very pretty.

I recognise a number of the $1 and 50c - but not all.

This is where i wish the forum had a higher photo size limit to upload better resolutions so I could see them all clearly lol. 😋

I recognise a few of the foreign coins - like the kiwi and the Fijian butterfly (at least i think its Fijian from recall), but cant see most clearly enough to see their pics.

Im curious about the non-circular one with the varying edges!! Pretty cool 😁

@Mustang67 Good morning! How are you? Just gorgeous coins. I love how they also have colour on them!

That's so cool @Chasingsunsets ! My coins are all dumped in a bag so I'm a bit ashamed of mine when I look at your collection lol

One thing I want to do is go to the Mint in Canberra again and get some more coins

@tyme does the Mint post?

I haven't visited it, but I've heard they do an interesting tour.

Um... if you can order coins online, I guess they do because all the coins come from there @AlwaysMyself

Yes, the tour is one AWESOME tour! I thought it would be boring, but I stayed at the mint for a few hours. I think I went a few months ago.. I can't even remember how long ago I went. Actually, maybe it was January this year.

The kids loved it too.
