The Forum's Oldest Coin. Round 1.

[Ramjet]

I borrowed this idea from another site. Just for a bit of fun,i thought we should find out our oldest Forum coin find.

But with a difference, I'll start of with a 2014 coin then someone else posts a 2013 coin find.
Next member posts a 2012 find and so on.Until we reach our oldest find without missing a consecutive date.

RULES : Coins must be found in Australia. Does not have to be an Australian coin but must be found in Australia.
It can be a coin or token. Coin dates have to be in order, and you cannot post consecutively dated coins.

CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A COIN FROM 1859

So to kick off here is a 2014 $2

Yes, must have been found with a detector, not in ya pocket.

not very exciting but another to get things moving - found at Altona beach

can't wait until we hit the pre-decimals (don't have many so am keen to see what others have fished out of the dirt)

[Ramjet]

[Sandta]

Park find....

 

[silver]

Ha, beat me again Sandta, I had the 2006 photo ready to go,....he who gets out of bed earliest wins,....I take my hat off to you mate,...I've been bested yet again(haha).

 

[Goldpick]

.....or he who stays up the latest. I thought yep, how hard could it be to find a 2007 coin, pretty hard apparently.

 

[silver]

Gets a bit harder to find certain coins when you've only just fed the carwash vending machine everything above 5 cents to get $1.00 coins for the shopping(darn you shopping).

 

[Sandta]

Sorry Silver(again) unfortunately i have to get up early every day for work

[silver]

All good fun Sandta,....I might just have to hit a few parks this afternoon to top up on decimals(ha).

No one with 2005 yet? I'll check my stash when I get home. I guess we are all waiting for the pre-decimals.
I did miss out on the 2007. Got a Fiji 5 cent I was going to use. Be good to see some of the foreign and unusual coins come out.
