www.coincollecting-values.com for more about Australian silver coin collecting. Popular series right now is based on the Chinese lunar calender as ...

During my travels to Australia over the last couple of years, I randomly decided to collect all the 1$ coins - and by chance, the last purchase I made these holidays at coles brought me the last missing coin. This does not include the non-circulated special editions, but merely the circulated ones.
Here's the list:

1986: International Year of Peace.
1988: Figure with and Koori Kangaroo for 200 years of English colonisation.
1993: Landcare Australia.
1996: Sir Henry Parkes.
1997: Sir Charles Kingsford Smith coin B.
1999: Year of Older Persons.
2001: 2 coin issues
100 years of Federation.
International Year of the Volunteer.
2002: Year of the Outback.
2003: 2 coin issues
Centenary of women's suffrage.
Australia's Volunteers.
2005: The Dancing Man - 60 years since World War II.
2007: APEC Australia 2007.
2008: Centenary of Scouting
They are in relatively good condition, I mean they were used and not new, but I can polish them. I obviously also have the normal 1$ coin with the kangaroos, but I doubt that counts. Anyway, it's 14 1$ coins, so its worth 14$ technically, but how much would they be worth as a set on ebay or other?
Thanks!

wow, go to a coin shop or an antique shop....
they would probably give you a more accurate estimate than people on yahoo answers. its advice, take it or leave it =]

The coin's reverse design depicts a cuddly koala clinging tenaciously to the branch of a gum tree.

the 2009 dated coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

I started about a month ago I have some really old coins like from 1965 (quarter US dollar) or I have a coin more than 500 years old. And a Japanese 100 Yens from 1961.

Any way the thing is most of the coins (around 40 out of 44 coins) were my dads collection but he stopped like 10 years ago and this month I took them.

My point is I am 13 years old. I live in Hurghada in Egypt (BUT I AM HALF RUSSIAN HALF AUSTRALIAN) the thing is that there are no coin clubs here and I get coins from friends that were abroad. I go to Moscow sometimes but I need a way to keep getting at leased 1 coin per week!!!!!HELP!!!

Without thinking twice i super glued my Australian 50 cent coin collection onto a collectors folder which is made of cardboard.

Now i want to remove these coins for a better folder, but will Acetone soak off the remaining super glue and stuck on cardboard from my coin? please help!

Thanks

also does anyone collect 50 cent coins? if so which ones are you missing? :)

Yes, acetone will do the job and won't damage your coins. As far as risks go it is flammable and volatile but not carcinogenic. It is dimethyl keytone. Be careful not to spill any. It removes paint immediately and it melts most plastics. You can clean your hands with it when you're finished

It's been years and taken multiple attempts to abandon the dollar bill and circulate the dollar coin. The silver dollar, Susan B. Anthony and the Sacajawea all failed to replace the George Washington bill. There should be a coin that is totally different than other cent coins and should be heavier to show value. They should make the coins to collect them, they should be made to spend.
The dollar coins at a similar value exists in many developed countries. They have coins including the Canadian Loonie and Toonie, the British pound and 2 pounds, the Australian Dollar and 2 Dollars, the Japanese 100 yen the 50 New Taiwan , and the 1 and 2 Euro coins.
The coins last much longer and saves a lot of money circulating and replacing than the dollar bill. They are easier to use in vending machines. The dollar bills are barely crispy and the machines always spit it out or maybe cause malfunction.

Yes, I agree. I have received some dollar coins recently and find them to be much more useful and easy to use. We also have 50 cent pieces that are almost completely out of circulation. Sometimes it seems the coin collectors are more in control of our money then the government.
