5 Australian Coin

Australian 5 cent coin vending machine question?
Cutest coin ever

hey

my friend says that if you glue two australian 5 cent coins together
and you put them in a vending machine and press the coin return button, a $2 coin comes out because theyre the same size.
when i do this the coin goes straight through the machine and into the return chute. you dont even press the refund button. i weighed the two five cents that are stuck together and they weigh half of a regular two dollar coin's weight. is this the problem? has this trick ever worked for you?


Different weight and different thickness, those machines are designed to detect fakes. When $2 coins first came out that trick worked but not anymore.

Good Condition Original Casing... How much do you think it is worth I would like to know.


probably $5 (Australian) - it's not old and unless it is in Brilliant uncirculated condition or is a proof, it has no extra value to a coin collector

Australian 5 cent two headed coin (2007)?

I have a coin that looks like the one in this pic except it has 2 heads and no tails. It has no denomination anywhere on the coin. It has the queen on both sides and looks like the "heads" side of the coin here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_ 5_cent_coin

what is this coin?
is it a normal 5 cent piece? all the other 5 cents coins I have, have the "normal" tails and denomination.

I thought it might be a trick coin too


Sounds like a trick double-headed coin to me.

I have a copper 5 cent australian 1984 coin, which was a mistake by the mint, any idea of the value.?



You need to make sure that it's a genuine 'wrong metal' error, and not plated by someone. Check the edge. If it looks perfectly nice with the reeded edge intact then the 5 cent has been copper-plated. The 2 cents is the closest in size to the 5 cents but still won't fit into the coin presses at the Mint, and that's why genuine 'wrong metal' errors do not have perfect edges.

Foreign gold coins, value, prices : Bad Credit Advisor

. The little fella did value his gold. But shillings and other foreign gold coins are exactly the kind of gold you should not buy. Buying foreign gold is not a good idea except for a few coins that I will mention later. You can hear many commercials pushing foreign coins, but in reality it is simply a very good way for dealers to make quite a few extra bucks off you, just like with non-confiscatable gold . Yes, the gold in foreign coins is as good as in US coins, but there are issues, too crucial to ignore. Mainly of value and prices.

1. Foreign gold coins are often sold at numismatic premium by dealers, and to get it back you will have to sell British Gold Sovereigns, French Gold Roosters, Danish Gold Mermaids and Russian Gold Rubles to buyers in UK, France, Denmark and Russia. 2. Many foreign coins come in strange weights of gold, like .1867 or .2354 troy ounce instead of full troy ounce. They will be stamped with a foreign denomination like 50 Rubles or 25 Franks, but rarely are stamped with their purity or gold content. Try to exchange such coins especially in emergency, for a loaf of bread or a few pounds of meat with the average person or sell them to anybody but a professional. So why the prices you pay are too high, the value of each foreign gold coin is hard to determine in the best case scenario, and in the worst it is rather low, compare with price you pay. If you want to buy fractional-ounce gold coins, stick with American Eagles and Canadian Maple Leafs. 5. Australian Lunar Series are beautifully crafted coins showing purity and gold content in plain English, but carry large premium. The first Series that ran from 1995 to 2007 are now sold at huge premium. Perth Mint started new series in 2008 with Rat Gold coin and continued with Ox in 2009. While you can still get those, you are yet better off sticking with American Eagles.

One Light or Two - Coin Community Forum

There is no one perfect solution. Lighting changes for differing coins - I light entirely differently between worn copper and lustrous silver. Get a two-light solution, and play with it. I suspect you're not going to improve much on the Roosevelt with two lights, but the Lincoln might - the extra light will add more washed-out areas like you see at 3:00 and 9:00, but your exposure will be enough shorter that they might end up a nicer look. Here's a two-light solution of a lustrous Lincoln: Disclaimer: While a tremendous amount of effort goes into ensuring the accuracy of the information contained in this site, Coin Community assumes no liability for errors.
