Ok guys, lets have a bit of fun.................I'm going to run a competition, sort of like, guess the amount of lollies in the jar. Here is a pic of my jar of old decimal coins dug this year. All you have to do to win, is guess the value of the coins.
The prize will be this Australian .800 silver 1966 50c piece. I will run the comp for a week or until someone gets it bang on. If no one guesses exactly, the prize will go to the closest guess.A couple of hints:
The coins and jar weigh 9kg, its 340mm high and has a diameter of 110mm. All the currency is represented from 50c to 1c, I would say the 50 % of the coins are 1,2,5 &10c pieces.
There is somewhere between $130.00 and $160.00 worth of coins in the jar.
GOOD LUCK!
My guess is 1900
ReplyDeleteValue of the coins: $147.53. No idea why I typed that amount but it will do! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to find a tumbler for mine then will just carton them up and send them to the Reserve Bank with a big ???? where the amount goes. Too many to bother with counting now, the bank can have the fun doing it.
