Congratulations, that was fast! Thanks. You've got to start early and noodle often! Got lucky in that I found the last two coins I was looking for (A for Akubra and C for Cherry Ripe) in the SAME ROLL.

indeed that is quite fast a timeframe, however I can see why you were able to find a full set 7000 is no easy feat to noodle, nice.
the second series is much hard to find in circulation might be twice as hard to find they seem to be taken out of circulation much faster as oppose to set one which I can still find coins floating around.
Might have only found half the alphabet in the second series, however I already bought a full set so I'm not worried about not finding all the letters at the moment (haven't bother to check if it has the colour G).

My experience is
series 2 much scarcer than series 1 in pocket change. Quote:
My feeling is that mintages are the actually similar to series 1 and maybe even higher. Some noodling stats, make of them what you will: 2019 - Date found first letter: 1 Nov 2019. Since then found 248 letters out of 56936 dollar coins noodled = 0.44% 2021 - Date found first letter: 8 Jun 2021. Since then found 112 letters out of 9220 dollar coins noodled = 1.21%

No I missed out as the staff went thru them and put sets together for themselves and I was too late for the rest.

I noodled 6 rolls of $1 coins yesterday and got 4 coins from series one, and 3 coins from series two, of the alphabet coins.
