[QUOTE="ozPATT, post: 58097, member: 3500"]hi everyone. wow, i never even thought these forums existed... a few years back, i began collecting australian commemorative coins. I don't have too many of them, i didn't really know what there was to collect. i used to work in a shop, so when a different 50 cent piece or dollar coin came in, i used to swap a normal one for it! Very interesting though to see the list you prepared of the different coins. What is also interesting, is that i have a centenary coin, and never noticed there was different states! i have had a good look and i have the south australian one, which is a bit weird i guess cos i am from WA. as 50 cent coins go, I have the captain cook one, the silver jubilee, charles and dianna, commonwealth games, the 1988 fleet one, year of the family, weary dunlop, bass abd flinders, the millenium year, and the south australian centenary one, so i was very impressed to find that i almost had a complete set, without even trying to get it! I do also have a 1966 round 50 cent piece too. as for dollars, i don't have too many of those, but i do have the 1986 international year of peace, then my 1988 one doesn't have any indication as to what it was made for, but it is like an aboriginal design of a kangaroo. Is this the first fleet one? I also have the 1993 one, a 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2002. I also have a united nations 20 cent piece so, i am quite interested to discover that i have done quite well without even realising! so thanks for that list. do you have any idea how much a full collection would be worth? as in, a full collection of 50 cents, one of dollars, and one of 20 cent pieces?[/QUOTE]
