1995 $1 AUSTALIAN COIN

[Templar]

       I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OF MY AUSSIE FRIENDS HAVE ACCESS TO A 1995 AUSTALIAN  DOLLAR HONORING A.B. BANJO PATERSON--WALTZING MATILDA --NOT THE PROOFS--BUT I WOULD LIKE 2 OR 3 IF POSSIBLE.

                THANKS VERY MUCH----THE TEMPLAR

Hi Templar,
I don't have a spare, but if no other Aussie can help out, they are available at some of the coin stores around here at a cost of $30 - $35. (can get one for you if needed). I've yet to come across one as yet though that is not somewhat toned. I'll also check on ebay after work this evening to see if any are going cheaper.

These were NCLT (Non Circulating Legal Tender), I think the US calls them NIFC? Usually only available from Coin Stores/Sellers now. 

There were 4 different Mint Marks for them B (Brisbane), C (Canberra), S (Sydney), & M (Melbourne), from both the Portable Press and the main Press at Canberra, so there are 8 slightly different coins. 

Unfortunately, I have 1 of each type & no spares.  I know someone who may let me have a few though, so I'll ask the question & let you know if there's any available.

[Templar]

  THANKS FOR THE HELP---I AM LOOKING FOR THREE AND THE MINT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME--I JUST WANTED A COIN THAT HONORED PATERSON
      IF YOU HAVE TO BUY THEM IN A STORE--PLEASE TRY TO KEEP THE COST AROUND 30 DOLLARS

      THANKS MUCH---YOUR SERVANT--THE TEMPLAR

Nice to see the interest in Oz history and poetry being extended overseas with our coins.
congratulations TEMPLAR.

Are you looking for UNC or out of circulation TEMPLAR?

[Templar]

   I AM LOOKING FOR NICE LOOKING COINS----I NEED THREE IF POSSIBLE--I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE SONG AND WAS SUPRISED TO SEE A COIN HONORING BANJO IN MY COIN BOOK---I CAN PAY YOU OR TRADE YOU FOR THEM--I LEAVE THAT UP TO YOU.

         YOUR WALTZING SERVANT--THE TEMPLAR

[Humpybong]

I think I have some spare, will look around and let you know.

[Templar]

I AWAIT YOUR REPLY---ALSO I NEED SOME LARGE AUSSIE COPPERS TO COMPLETE MY SET
THANKS FOR THE HELP

templar, I presume you are talking about our pre-decimal pennies?

OR is it decimal 2 cent coins you are after.

As I collect pre-decimal pennies I have a number of duplicates.   Are you after specific years or what?

[Nevol]

Sorry Templar, I checked with my contact & at present he doesn't have any spares of these. 

[Templar]

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT--I HAVE BEEN HUNTING AROUND E-BAY AND WAS ABLE TO CATCH A COUPLE SO ANY MORE OF THOSE DOLLARS WOULD JUST BE NICE ADDITIONS TO MY BUDDING COLLECTION---AT LEAST IN MY SEARCH I DID LEARN THE WORDS TO THE SONG "WALTZING MATILDA" AND WHAT THE SONG IS REALLY ABOUT---IT WAS LIKE THE SONG "DANNY BOY"---SANG IT FOR YEARS BEFORE I ACTUALLY LEARNED WHO WAS SINGING TO WHO.

    WELL I WILL BE WALTZING MATILDA THROUGH THE FALL COLORS OF MICHIGAN WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU

[Templar]

THANKS FOR THE EFFORT--I KNOW THAT WHEN I START LOOKING FOR SOME SPECIFIC COIN I USUALLY FIND SOME COINS THAT I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT--I AM I NO HUGE RUSH AS LONG AS I CAN GET THEM BY YESTERDAY

    YOUR SERVANT---THE TEMPLAR

[tyjulie]

  YOUR SERVANT---THE TEMPLAR

[Templar]

   THANKS FOR THE EFFORT--I HAVE FOUND A COUPLE ON E-BAY BUT I AM STILL INTERESTED IN OBTAINING MORE

           YOUR SERVANT---THE TEMPLAR

[Humpybong]

OK Joe, found the few I had tucked away.   They are loose circulated coins,

How many do you need?

[Templar]

  I WOULD LIKE A COUPLE OF THEM---WHAT DO I OWE YOU?--OR WHAT CAN I TRADE YOU FOR THEM?--I HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT U.S. COINS AND PAPER MONEY----SO LET ME KNOW.
