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 😞

Hahaha @Mustang67 Yep!
They will say "If you need money, just get it from the machine - hole in the wall"... that's what a kid said to me once....

@tyme I reckon that a lot of kids would think that you just go to the hole in the and withdraw what you want. My niece's certainly did when they were young.

hahaha.... but then again, we are moving towards not even having these holes in the wall because we won't need cash!!!
What a dilemma!!!! @Mustang67

@Mustang67 have you got the commemorative 60 years of decimal currency coins yet?
In response to: Re: Coin Collectors' Corner

@ENKELI Yes, I have the commemorative 60 years of decimal currency coin set.
The $1 coins are marked with either a ‘C’ Mintmark or a ‘S’, ‘M’ or ‘B’ Privy Mark. This represents the mints that the coins were produced from.

Here are my latest purchases from the new releases. I wasn't going to keep buying collectors coins, but I already have started a collection including these types of coins, so I had to keep the collection going.

While researching coins like I often do, I found an article regarding the $1coins that are specially produced for the yearly ANDA (Australasian Numismatic Dealers Association) Money Expo held in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne & Perth.
They do one for each state with a Privy Mark on the coins. What caught my attention was they only produce between 3,000 and 5,000 of these coins. Which puts them all in the very low mintage and rare or scarce category. I managed to do a lot of searching to get these at the cheapest price I could. The maximin I paid was $30. I am missing one from 2019 but the cheapest I could find it was $90.00 and I am not willing to pay that for a $1 coin, even if it is a low mintage. I have found a couple of them overseas, so I am waiting on the companies to get back to me with their shipping costs etc.
This will be a long post as there are 4 year's worth. Lol
Being such a low mintage, they should increase in value over the years.

I just thought that I would let you know of some new coin releases coming up from the Royal Australian Mint. As yet they are not showing images of the new coins, but when they do, I will upload them.
In 2026, Australia marks 125 years of the Commonwealth of Australia. The Commonwealth came into being on 1 January 1901, with the union of six previously self-governing colonies: New South Wales, Tasmania, Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and Queensland.
To commemorate the 125th anniversary of Federation, the Royal Australian Mint presents these special uncirculated coins.
Each colony that became a state of Australia in 1901 is commemorated on a rarely seen 25-cent coin, which features the state’s distinctive faunal and floral emblems. The New South Wales and South Australia coins also include emblems of the Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory respectively; these territories, formed in 1911, were part of the states at the time of Federation. The seventh coin in the collection is a one-dollar coin representing the Commonwealth of Australia.
These coins are available individually or as a complete collection. They would make a splendid collectible or gift for any resident or visitor of the chosen state.
125 Years of Federation coins will be available:
From Wednesday 25 February 08:30am (AEDT)
From Saturday 28 February 10:00am (AEDT)
From Monday 2 March 08:30am (AEDT)
In March 2026, the CommBank Matildas will be back representing Australia on home soil. Proudly wearing the green and gold, the talent and spirit the CommBank Matildas have become known for will be on full show.
Get ready to be swept up in ‘Matildas Fever’ and support the team as they play here in Australia. Capturing the hearts of the nation with their fierce determination, skill and passion, the CommBank Matildas have brought fans from all over the country together. These mementos from the Royal Australian Mint are a nod to the force that is the CommBank Matildas and will be treasured keepsakes for CommBank Matildas and sports fans alike. They are releasing a new $2 coin.
Matildas coins will be available:
From Wednesday 25 February 08:30am (AEDT)
From Saturday 28 February 10:00am (AEDT)
From Monday 2 March 08:30am (AEDT)
The magic of the Tooth Fairy returns to the Mint, with an enchanting new $2 coloured coin (these are not usually coloured). Featuring a fun design and vibrant colours, this keepsake is perfect as a gift, collectible, or surprise under the pillow of any child. Specially crafted and adorned in delightful colour, this coin captures the magic of the Tooth Fairy’s visit.
The Tooth Fairy Kit includes a reusable case, toothbrush, tooth chart and a special message from the Tooth Fairy.
Tooth Fairy coins will be available:
From Wednesday 25 February 08:30am (AEDT)
From Saturday 28 February 10:00am (AEDT)
From Monday 2 March 08:30am (AEDT)
