Scored my first 2022 coloured coins on the weekend, has anyone else?


I gather that's a Frontline Workers $2. Didn't know they were in circulation. Looks like I better add that to my search list.

Day 32

Noodled 10 rolls of $2 coins today but didn't find anything new.



Did find a nice 1988 coin. This is what one looks like before the lustre wears off and it becomes lawn mower fodder.


Total number of two dollar coins noodled: 2775
Number of different coins found: 65
Number of coins still to find: 15

Day 38

Noodled $500 worth of $2 coins and found one more coin on my list.



The new coin was the 2019 police $2 - a well designed coin IMO


For all the fun I've made of the "rare 1988 HH" shenanigans that have been going on lately, I may have actually found a real 1988 error coin:

Bummer. I hope those final twelve coins do not avoid capture for long.

Day 47

Noodled 10 more rolls of $2 coins

A colourful bunch


Including a new find: 2017 possum magic "Invisible Hush"


What the heck is Possum Magic and why is Hush invisible? I hear you ask.

Possum Magic is a 1983 Children's picture book by Australian author Mem Fox, and illustrated by Julie Vivas.

Hush is a young female possum who is magically turned invisible by "Grandma Poss" (the subject of an NCLT dollar coin) so that she will be safe from the scary predators that live in the bush.

Why is this on a circulating $2 coin? I also hear you ask.

Sorry but I don't have an answer for that.

Total number of two dollar coins noodled: 4550
Number of different coins found: 69
Number of coins still to find: 11
