My 20 Cents

They keep sliding in slowly.
59 piles of 20 coins = 1180 coins…
Plus the unusual ones, 52 equals 1232 coins and $246.20!

Yeah, After a month of me, my friend and my wife collecting we have brokeen 1000 20 cent coins, 1033 to be exact. Yeah! And better yet a new one too…..

A Norfolk Island Federation coin amongst the lot!

Ok, so I haven’t got a record number of coins, up to 867 now but this week I did get one I haven’t had before. There are quite a few different coins (all the different Australian 20 cent coins) and I don’t have every one yet but today I got an ACT Centenary of Federation [...]

So I had a couple of extra sources this week
-My friend had another 87 coins at work
-And started feeding me some more at the pub
-And my wife started keeping a few for me now.
-And of course, I still manage to pick up a few. And event more that normal when I do work travel, which [...]

So my friend was a little more excited about my 20 cents than I expected and turned up last night with 166 20 cent coins in a bag. So that brings my total to 839!

So believe it or not, I’m not alway proud of my nerdy endeavors. Say like collecting 20 cent coins and creating a website on it. It’s kinda nerdy (yes believe it or not) so I don’t always tell all my friends. But with a bit of social lubricant, a few beers, 2 G&T’s and some [...]

Ok, so I lost count again. And that means I have to sit down and count it again. It’s a long task but and kind of annoying but at the same time kinda satistfying. So I’m at: 652 coins now!

charity.
Not comes the next conundrum which one? After a bit of though I [...]

I’m back from the honeymoon and after my first day already and an extra 5. Also, an extra 9 from adds while I’m away! I’ll have to think of a way to get the collection growing faster. I think I’ll work on convincing my new wife to keep hers for me too.
And yes, I had [...]
