[QUOTE="backcreek, post: 4845, member: 277"] Hi All, I found this on wikipedia, From 1822 the government began to recall the coins and replace them with sterling coinage.[3] By the time the holey dollar was finally demonetised in 1829, most of the 40,000 coins in circulation had been exchanged for legal tender and melted down into bullion.[1] Experts estimate that only 350 Holey dollars and 1500 dumps remain.[5] The rarity of the Australian holey dollar ensures that even those in relatively poor condition are valuable. There are many stories of holey dollars being found in unusual circumstances. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holey_dollar[/url] Cheers Mick [/QUOTE]
