2008 Coins found in circulation

[Nevol]

I've sort of stopped counting the $1 & 20¢, have about 15-20 of each.  Also have 4 x $2.  Got a 2008 MoR Rabbit last night.

[Snooba]

Hooray!  I finally found my first 2008 $2 coin!

 

[triggersmob]

I have found $2 and 20 cents so far, but that's all.

[Nevol]

Seems the Aussie state of Indiana is always last to get new coinage!

Terry, If you're interested, I'll swap you some Aussie 2008 $2, $1 & 20¢ for some statehood quarters. I have a want list of 16.

[Twoshadows]

Email the list and I will get right on it!!!   I thought you were NEVER going to ask!         

[Nevol]

Terry, Email sent.

I found my first 2008 $1 MOR today.

Picked up another 3 X 2008 20 cent coins over the weekend.


Also now have 20 X $1 MOR coins in plastic security bag (replaced rolls).  No wonder coins have a lot of bag maerks these days.

[Nevol]

Totted up my 2008 coins found so far:

$2 x 10
$1 x 32
20¢ x 16

Nearly all with heaps of bag marks.   

As humpybong said, rolls have been replaced with plastic bags in Qld so we just have to put up with the bag marks, or try to buy unc ones from wherever we can source them.

I wonder if Yass might be able to get some rolls in his neck of the woods?

Nevol,
Let me assure you, my lack of 2007 and 2008 rolls is not for lack of pestering my friendly bank teller.  They'll turn up sooner or later, I have no doubt. And I'll be pulling them apart for the CH Unc or BU as or overseas friends refer to them.

[Nevol]

Yass, I knew you would've been trying to get some rolls. If you do manage to score some, would you consider selling a couple of each denomination?  Even just 1 roll of each would do. I would be extremely grateful.

It appears there may be nothing but those horrible plastic bags from the security companies in Qld. I can't say I've seen a decent 2008 coin yet. Bag marks all over them.

I've had 1 x 2008 $1 that came from the Bank, all the other 2008 coins I have came from change in shops.

I'm working on cultivating a friendly Bank teller at present, but last time she looked for new coins, there wasn't a roll in the place. Which Bank?

[Jeff]

Local bank still getting rolls here. Don't know for how long.
I will ask my tame teller to keep an eye out and, if any turn up, let you know.

cheers
Jeff

[Nevol]

Hey, thanks Jeff.  I'll be opening the rolls & sharing them around with others. so I'm not planning on hoarding them. 

[Muckeye]
