We were able to have our meeting on the 18th March with 12 members attending. Again we had quite a variety of coins medallions and catalogues, which led to interesting discussions There was good advice on collecting ancient Chinese and Roman coins with some very large catalogues of information and values on the coins. There was a Krugerland (South Africa) 1oz. gold coin, a Mexican $1 coin of one ounce pure silver, an Australian 1977 silver jubilee medallion for the Queen's visit, a Lighthouse medallion, 1984 English proof coin set, 5gm gold nugget 2.5 gm of gold bullion, 1945-1995 medallion, 1966 round 50cent piece and 1967 NZ 50 cent piece. Four small albums of American coins, including American $1 coins. Girl Guide commemorative coins and various paper cuttings and clips re early coins, pre-decimal pennies and halfpennies. Pre decimal florin commemorating the opening of Parliament House Canberra in 1927, a 20cent decimal commemorating the Centenary of Canberra in 2013.

Coin CollectorsPeople over the years have bags, boxes or tins of old coins of pre decimal and decimal currency. If this is an interest or hobby of yours and you would like to discuss the significance of coins and notes with different designs that commemorate the events and people that create a history of Australia, consider joining our Coin Collectors group. Meet others who have been putting coins aside and have not yet sorted or catalogued their collection. Discuss, view, swap and/or buy coins to complete various sets. We aim to get more enjoyment from our collections and look forward to seeing your coins and sharing stories. Convenor/
