Found these $2 coins in this week's noodle. The Firefighter is only the third one I have found since they were released over three years ago. The 2015 Lest We Forget coin is in really good condition so I guess that makes up for the NZ 10c coin in last week's noodle. The Matildas coin is a nice find - don't see many of them. Am finding plenty of the 2024 Olympics coins - two full sets this week. Looks like Woolies customers don't like them as much as the Vegemite coins?  |

The firefighters and the red 2015 are the 2 hardest to find $2 coins in Qld. Well done Sally.  |

The NZ 10 cents in a roll? How does a coin of 3.3 grams and made of steel coated in copper with unmilled edges get through the system to be rolled with a 6.6 gram Al Bronze interrupted milled edge coins? Only similarity is they are both 20.5mm diameter.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I was definitely happy to find the Firefighter coin as they seem to be very uncommon. Makes me wonder how many of them were actually released into circulation instead of being sold in rolls?
As for the NZ coin in a $2 roll - I am guessing that the coins are sorted by size and then counted and rolled. There were 25 coins in that roll - 24 x $2 and the one NZ 10c coin. I have seen similar things with $1 rolls with foreign coins included but the correct number of coins in the roll. I am not worried about them; it just adds a bit of interest to the hunt. Happy noodling everyone.

Weight and composition obviously not taken into account when they sort their coins.

Opened a $2 roll today and found two foreign coins as well as 24 $2 coins. I was very surprised to see both foreign coins together in the roll and also they seem to be identical! They weren't sticky either so it is odd they have managed to get through the sorting and rolling process and end up being side by side in the roll. Anyway they are keepers and go into the odds and sods collection. Foreign or 'odd' coins aren't that unusual - I found a car wash token in a $1 roll last week. It is just that finding two identical foreign coins next to each other is unusual. Anyone else finding similar things in Armaguard's rolls?   |

Interesting find, Sally! Unfortunately those two coins together are not worth $2. I wonder if whoever rolled those coins intentionally slipped them in? By the way, they are Thailand 1 Baht (1986-2008). I think yours is either 1998 or 2000 - I'm having trouble with the last digit. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1106.html Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
