@Mustang67 , @Harmonium , @Snowie

Wow! Nice!

@Shaz51 Do you remember the 1 cent, 2 cent coins we used to use? I remember in primary school, I just to be able to get a 'fruit ball' for 1cent.

sure do @tyme 😁

'fruit ball' sounds interesting

how about you @Dimity , @Emelia8

hello @rav3n 😎

not sure of your age , but what you remember with coins

hey @Shaz51!

i don't know too much about coins if i'm honest! but i love learning new things so I just popped in to check this thread out .. now I've learnt that we had a 1 & 2 cent coin 😊

i used to collect $1 and $2 coins with fancy designs on them but I eventually put them in my mum's money box which hasn't been filled to the top or opened in around 10 years.

@rav3n , @tyme

i used to collect 1 and 2 cents coins to start off with

and then started on the $ 1- and $ 2-dollar coins too

and then the 5 cents coins came

@Shaz51 i see! so what happened to these collections - do you still have them or have you sold/traded them?

ha ha @rav3n , @tyme

I kept the best-looking ones and kept them

but I spent all the others over time and banked some

1966!!! @Shaz51

Hi @tyme

They will be releasing a tube of bluey coins through Australia Post in September. So you will probably need to go online as soon as it is released to get a set.

Are you aware of the ballot system that most coin businesses use now, when a new coin is released?

When the Olympic $1 coins were released, everywhere I looked were sold out. But I managed to find some at the RRP from a baby shop. Who would of thought they would sell coins. The website for future reference is onebaby.com.au.
