The $10 gold scout  @$210 and issue only 1500 could be a goer as well.  With regards to the 50 cent release, I can get these to send at issue plus post (or trade).  However, I do not want disrupt any arrangements you may have with other members.

I have heard that there will also be a scout 50 cent in the credit card type folder and in a P&C release.

Nice one Mate.  I got the summons to the Boss's Office one day.  He asked, "You collect coins I hear"  "Yes Boss" I replied.  "Well" he said, "I'm bringing in my saved coins to bank, go through them, and replace what you find".  This far, I have found a few good $1, including a 2001 upset at 6 O'clock
and the hand cud on the Dancing man.

 Smiley Well done Gary. The 16,630,000 is the mintage for the Millennium 50, as listed in the 13th edition The Australian coins and bank notes pocket guide.  The Royal visit 50 is listed at 5.1 million with 25,000 proofs.

  Grin Thanks Gary, I appreciate it!  By the way, I reckon that you still need the 2005 COA 50 and 2002 accession. The 2005's are available in the special heritage P&C and the 2002 is expensive at around 220-250.  However, if the proof would suffice, these are under $100.

Muckeye  Wink quite right, water off a duck's back Mate!!  Wink

When I collected Aust dollar coins (exchange with the bank) I often got US quarters, NZ $2 and $E1 Euros.

The Southern Cross was a fokker vll-3m, it looked similiar to the Ford Tri-motor and was powered by three Wright J-5s, same as the Ford.

When I last checked, I was informed that the package arrived in San Fran on 19 Nov, and the notification today is that is is still there.

"Smithy" was also on the decimal $20 note from 1966-1994.

Generally, from 1966, until 1982 the 1c, 2c, 5, 10c, 20c & 50c coins are fairly easy to find, and not too expensive for coins in a good VF condition, the exceptions being the '68 1c and 2c and '72 5c.  In 1983 and 1984, the 20c were minted in their millions and then melted down, so these 20s are expensive at around $20 and $25 each, though a mint set at some dealers can cost the same price as the single 20s.   In 1985, the 5 cent was mint set only (MSO) and has a book price of $30.  The 10c, 20 and 50 were limited mintage (LM).  In this case, it may be more cost effective to buy the mint set, as the yellowed set (plastic turned yellow) can still be purchased for $35 in some dealers. From 1986-1993 some coins were MSO and LM and in some cases, a mint set purchase can be better, especially with the 1990 sets where the book value is $120 and single coin price is $170.  The 1994 coins are available as single coins for face value, though it is getting harder to find better fine grade. Like wise, from 1998 until present, all coins should be available.  The 1995 had a rare 10 and 20 c and the 1996 and 1997 had a rare 10 cent, though the 97 10 is occasionally found in change and the '95 and '96 10s were MSO.  I'll post some mintages later
