Great commentary
@@thousandaireradio3199 thanks mate. I like getting coins with our distinct Aussie animals on them. More to follow as the funds allow. 👍🏻😃
I’m feeling mattivated. That was your sister on the coin packaging?! Awesome 👏
@@thousandaireradio3199 cheers mate. 100%. She’s a decorated veteran. Very inspiring.
A friend just gave me 2 Australian 2 dollar coins. They are still in my car. Maybe I will give them a look
@@thousandaireradio3199 yes! Let me know what they are and I can try and value them for you virtually. You never know!!!
Geez these Perth mint sets are amazing!!
@@SilverStackingSaga i know right?! A little pricey but as a collectible, I’m ok with that.
Sub #71!
@@SilverStackingSaga thanks mate. I’m also following you. Great content. I like the tone of your channel too.
1-9 Are my favorite :) I normally shun colorized coins but those all look great! I am currently working on building up to 5 1/10oz gold dragons from the Perth mint. Love the Perth mint!!
@@SilverStackingSaga I don’t have many colorised coins either, but liked these ones as collectibles and the rarity factor.
Much respect to your sister for serving our Nation mate 🇦🇺 Btw i might have to steal "borrow" your Numismatic Numis Addicts quote 😂👊
@@TheBlondeSuperman thanks mate. We’re very proud of her. Hey, please steal away. Let’s make ‘numismatics numis-addicts’ a thing. I mean, we probably already are right? 😆 BTW, which track events do you run?
@@mattivation_inc. I think next time someone asks what do I do for a living i might say I mostly work in Numismatics, old fashioned investments that are sturdy instead of chancy crypo currency you know or Numis addicts to aid those with addictions, just doing my part to give back to the community 😂 Im multi event eg. track and field a bit of most events.Have you been collecting for a long time?
@@TheBlondeSuperman classic! There’s plenty of us here online that need counselling for our numismatic addictions. I did work in the bank for my first 3 years in the workforce, so technically i guess i worked in numismatics??
@@mattivation_inc. There you go your legit, just purchase a therapist chair and you'll have us all covered now
great coins
@@charlesadkins7067 hey mate. Thanks for tuning in. I appreciate it. Yep. Am pleased I bought these ones. 🙏🏻
Hello👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
@@RuralLife5 g’day mate. Thanks for tuning in 👍🏻
@@mattivation_inc. 🥰🥰🥰
very nice
@@silvermad1 thanks mate. I’d eyed off that Queensland one for a while. It’s the state I live in here in Australia 🇦🇺 We call it the sunshine ☀️ state.
Great looking coins 🎉
@@johnnyb3126 thanks mate. I was pleased to get these. I’d been hunting the Tiger coin for a while.
awesome looking set well done
@@silvermad1 thanks mate. It was a little pricey, but as a collectible, I’m happy with them. Thanks for tuning in.
You can use 3 round 50 cent coins at the strip club. That way the lady only declares 1.50 in tax. and my $50.00 dance costs 45 dollars. It worked better when silver was 40 dollars an oz
@@philiprachtman1217 😆😆😆
That's a beautiful coin set!
@@AustrianStacker I was inspired after your review of the LBY 10 dragons set which you did a short time ago.
@@mattivation_inc. The 10 coin set is one of the most beautiful coin sets I have ever seen. I am more than happy that i got one. It was really hard to get here in Europe. I usually don't buy colourised coins but this coin set is a must have. :)
@@AustrianStacker I have one as well. Same here, I don’t usually buy the colourised sets, but these were extremely limited editions, and going into my personal deep stack collection but to be admired through a locked security cabinet.
@@mattivation_inc. I still have it on my desk. There are two coin series I have to look at at least once a week. This one and the Magic of Gold series by Austrian Mint.
@@AustrianStacker just looked up The Magic of Gold series on the mint’s website. Wow!! 🤩
Very nice, great collection👍👍
@@HarshasRecipe thanks for tuning in. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve subscribed to your recipe channel. Looking forward to seeing some great videos.
Ok
I like the 2nd one, but I have the 4th one...
@@lorrainedalton8753 thanks for tuning in. The gold gilded one is so nice! I was a tough choice for me 😆
@@mattivation_inc. Thankyou for your message... Yes the gilded one, would be so nice to have... 😀
In 1970 I worked as a teller in the NAB. A customer brought in a couple of bags of $200 of these coins. I had to weigh/count them and immediately bought them myself. It was a lot of money at the time for me.Nothing wrong about that but when the other staff saw the coins they wanted some of the action. I still have most of them. Some have gone as gifts to family and friends and one I sacrificed and made a coin ring out of it.
@@romandybala thanks for tuning in and sharing your story. Man!! I was a bank teller at BoQ, but in 1986. I’m so jealous of your bounty of 50 cent coins!!!
Ok
Ok

They are still legal tender, however, there is no obligation for any business to accept them in exchange for goods or services. Production ceased in 1966, not 1968. If production of 50c coins continued into 1967 and early 1968, there would be a listing for them in Rennicks and on the Royal Australian Mint website. There are no 50c coins produced for or dated 1967 or 1968. Production of coins is started the year before and continues into the year shown on the coins. Coins are generally released into circulation after June of each year depending upon economic demand for coins in circulation. Sometimes, they'll be issued earlier. There's actually a bit over 1 troy ounce of silver.
@@ChuckyMcNubbin72 thanks for tuning in and I really appreciate your comment. It was a surprise to me that the RAM website indicates they were striking them until 1968, but I understand this happens occasionally and at times without changing of the years - something to do with not wanting to change the die? You might have better sources than me. Happy to learn more at my end. See the link below www.ramint.gov.au/fifty-cents
@mattivation_inc. yeah, that's incorrect. It's supposed to be March 1966, not 1968. It a clerical error on their part. The mint also has other clerical errors, the most notable being the listing of 1992 standard MoR $1. The listing has production listed at being 8,000. The coin doesn't actually exist and the RAM did admit that it most likely was a recording error. There are a few others but they're minor and don't really affect anything. Production of coins generally ceases prior to the end of the fiscal year and production of the next year's coin begins after the start of the new fiscal year. That's June/July. At least, that's the information I received in an email from the RAM when I was researching information for an article on coin manufacturing in Australia.
@@ChuckyMcNubbin72 thanks again for this update. I really appreciate the time and your research. I’ve been trying to use the RAM info as a ‘source of truth’ 😆😆😆
@@mattivation_inc. all good. You're welcome. 😉👍
I beg to differ re there being just over 1 troy Oz of silver. Each 50c 1966 coin has a weight of 13.2g and is 80% silver. Thus 10.56g of silver. There is 31.1g per Troy Oz so is 0.3395 Troy Oz so what was said in the video is correct for 1 coin.
👌👌👌

@@coincollectingfun thanks you. I just watched a couple of your short videos. I love seeing the different coins you have over there. Thanks 🙏🏻 so much for your encouragement mate.
Why is the 1999 big head an error, you didn’t say.
@@stevepunter3704 hi Steve. It’s an error because of it being slightly larger than the usual sized head on the 1999 ten cent coin.
Gotta love the kooks
@@rasbobbo thanks Ras! Glad you like them too. Even though I can see them here in real life regularly, I still stop and gawk like they’re something special - which of course they are.
I listened to “how to win friends and influence people”. During my 8/9 hour drive do vacation. Great recommendation. I forgot who inspired me to do so until I just saw this video again. 👍
@@thousandaireradio3199 mate. I hope you’re having a great time on your vacation. I’ll be doing a road trip to our nation’s capital in September this year. Can’t wait.
You have been busy! I like it! Copper bitcoins make nice physical representations. I like those little gold things?
@@thousandaireradio3199 you inspired me mate. I don’t have your technical editing skills yet, so I’m focusing on content ideas. Like you said, throw stuff to the wall & see what sticks.
@@mattivation_inc. you are doing it! I think you will find it rewarding
Good work Matt.
Thanks Bernadette 👍🏻😃

Very nice 🐉🐲 New friend and Sub here 😁
I’m glad you liked it. Thanks very much for subscribing @johnnyb3126 Do you have your own channel?
@@mattivation_inc. Your welcome and yes I have a channel 👍✅💯
Lucky you. It’s a beautiful set.
Thanks mate. So grateful to be in a position to have bought it.
Some interesting facts here. Bring back the $2 note I say. Never liked the $2 coin.
@bernadettesimpson8159, that’s going old school with the currency. I agree. I think the $2 is getting milked to help the mint make money with the collectibles.
I haven’t read how to influence people
It’s really just a good guide on being a better human being which, in turn makes you more attractive to others on all levels - friendship, romantic, as a colleague, salesperson etc.
@@mattivation_inc. I’m going to read it soon. It has been on my mind.
Fulfills psychological needs nice. So true
IKR?
Robin Hood 😁that’s awesome!
True story!!
👍❗️watching now
Thanks for watching friendo! Much appreciated.
Hey Matt, Let's hope CBDCs don't become so dominant that cash vanishes.
@robertsimpson8729, I agree! In the meantime, I’ll continue stacking away as many collectible numismatic coins as possible. And preparing for both the best & worse outcomes regarding CBDCs.
I've read one of these. The Dale Carnegie one on influencing people. He has another book entitled: "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living' which I believe is his best.
@robertsimpson8729, I have that one too. It’s an excellent read as well.
keep stacking👍
Thanks @silvermad1 appreciate you checking the clip out.
Hi Matt. I think the plant on the $2 coin could be rosemary.
Hey @doshea5023. I think you’re right.
Nice find Matt
Thanks @Martinjstevens I’m very pleased.

@@thousandaireradio3199 yeah, multitasking. I have an interview Wed, so its starting to pay off...FINALLY!! lol
A lot to be said for mindset.
100%. Mindset is so important for our confidence & success in any endeavour.
I’m going to say that when I put my coffee money in the envelope each day. Very good video
Wow!!! Am I motivating my motivator? lol
lol 😂 “I’m a sedentary mid 50’s office worker” I love it. You got to own where you are at in life especially if you want to improve
I recently saw that there are a couple kookaburras in the UK, they are escaped pets that where imported.
That’s very interesting. I looked up the BBC news article. It’s happy doing it’s thing in Suffolk county. They’ll be able to monitor it given they’re territorial, so it probably won’t move far away.
Great work Matt
