There was an Irish counterfeiter who came to Australia in he 1980's. He was caught forging 20 cent coins by filing the corners off the 50 cent coins....
We used aussie 10 cent coins in the USA beer machine instead their quarter 25 cents what a bargin and that was when our dollar was worth $1.17 US.
I doubt you’d turn a 50 cent coin into a 20 cent coin unless your name was Anthony Albanese than it would probably sound like a good idea to lose 30 cents on every 50 cent coin you owned what a great way to lose your money and go bankrupt ASAP lmfao

Great review and really helpful particularly on the incused and the double bar explanations
I have a '66 round 50c, which was handed to me as a 20c coin in change. Only noticed when I threw it in my loose change in the console. It made a different sound, and it started me collecting 50s.
I’m in Western Australia love your videos and I have quiet a few of these coins thanks for all the info 🙂
Im from Western Australia, thank you for sharing 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you. Very informative breakdown!
Thank you for the video. This video was in my recommended list.
Nice rundown on the $0.50s PJ. You did well to noodle that 1966. 👍👍
Hi PJ! Highly informative. Kindly keep up the good work.
Regards!
Informative update PJ, very interesting as always.
I just came across your site and so pleased to have found it.
Just before Christmas 2022 I sold many of my coins which I have been collecting since decimalisation began...sadly at a far lower price than you have stated.Thank you for providing this site, which I have saved.
Excellent information thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge
Definitely subbed, great and informative uploads
Awesome, thank you!
Very helpful, thank you
Thanks for all of the pricing info.
Good timing since so many people have been noodling 50s recently.
I'm from Philippines and I got some of the circulated commemorative coin too, I got them when I was in dubai, and I love them too.
Thanks for this!
Thanks so much for your informative videos⭐️🥰. Newbie collector, started noodling last night and found a WA federation coin and I live in WA.
Thanks for the info .
love your work. now i started to collecting coins now :) . Great job.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi PJ, I'm only a couple of months into collecting. I love your videos and have watch most of them several times. Thankyou for helping us noobs. Did you get your incused 50c graded??
My friends and I are finding a few of the 2019 IRB and JC coins. Mabos seem to have stopped turning up and the Indigenous Languages coins are relatively common. I am in Brisbane. Cheers Jason
New subscriber here I went to the bank about a month ago and got $20 worth of 20 cent coins and inside the bad of coins was a florin! I almost fell over!
Thank you for the incused explanation!!
Thank you
Top video PJ. Hope you are well. Find a 1966 hard to believe. Very 🍀. I will keep Dreaming getting an inccused. 😂 looks like great grade to me
gday im in qld, have found most of what you have except the round & 2000 incused coin. thanks for youre info.
Thanks, an excellent video.
I think the Millennium coin could touch MS62 in terms of grade (so same view as yours).
I have been doing a lot of 50 cent coin noodling and really would like to find the 2010 rotated die coin. Never seen a Marbo or languages coin in WA (not yet!).
Have found seven of the 2019 IRB but none of the Jody Clark.
Wow how lucky are you !! Have never had one!
on the millennium coins there's another way to tell that its the variety coin. All the stars have a "smooth field" compared to the rough field on the normal variety. this means that the stars on the normal one are rough and the stars on the rare coin are smooth
Thanks P.J. from QUEENSLAND we are new to noodling, but have been fairly successful on a small budget, with 50 cent coins .we have noodled all the coins you have shown in this episode, except the millennium incused coin and the Northern Territory federation coin . Regards Angela and Stan..
You both are doing well. You will find them I'm sure. Keep it up.
The NT Federation coin is one of the few from 2001 that I do have. Only have 3x Australia, NT and Vic.
Thanks for this, I have seen some double bars on the 97 50s.
Nice work
Hi PJ, I am new to coin hunting but am lucky enough to be able to noodle through the tills at work, your vids have been excellent for helping out with what to collect and now have a growing collection. Got lucky and just found 2006 table tennis commonwealth games in good nic. Thanks again for the Video's and keep it up. Dan.
Thanks Dan and good luck
Probably shouldn't openly admit that. Alot of collectors only have change to noodle through, so a bit unfair for you to use your position to pre-noodle coins before anyone could possibly see them. It's a bad look.
@@TheRealHoltzy everyone has an opinion mate. Positive ones are appreciated. Yours is the only negative comment I've ever received. Most people can't afford to pull $1000 of dollars out of banks either,don't suppose you have anything to say to TCH or PJ about them collecting all the coins through the bank before they get to me or you. You go with what you have. Have a nice Day.
@@styrakker PJ and TCH don't noodle tills, they go to the bank for rolls and have a long term relationship with those banks. I respect PJ and TCH, but don't see them as the god like figures you do, I will happily call either of them out too, they're just regular people mate. As for "can't afford to pull $1000 out, I have NEVER pulled anywhere close to that out, $580 was my biggest drop, but it's not hard, you pull your paycheque out, keep the coins you find and deposit the rest back. I kept $15 out of that $580 and I can't even work due to a crushed back. So if a guy on a government pension can afford to go to the coin roll machine, I'm sure a worker can too.
@@styrakker 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
Nice collection
W.A. good on you cobba.
Hi mate loving your coin vids. Can u do one on the collectors 50c coins like the acdc and steam train 3801 coins and any other highly sought after ones. Cheers👍
The 1966 silver coin was the first 50cents when they came out when changed from the pound .They have cut the silver down since then.
I have this coin
The '66 50 cent piece is the only Australian decimal currency that has any actual silver. From '67 onwards it's all nickel-copper alloys.
Dear PJ,
Any information on the 2002, 50c coin with the windmill on it please. I'm pretty new at this but love it for some reason. It's exciting. Just subscribed also.
Peace and Blessings 💖
Thought you might like this. Its about rare 50 cent coins. Very interesting. Hope you are enjoying moving into your new home. Please grow the biggest veggie garden, even a winter garden so I can pickel and can them.
Have a good day.
X mum
Thak you. I better check mine out.
I have 7 of the round 50c coins. Will hang ont them for quite a while.
Nice video I found a 50 cent coin that has a nearly foul cycle stamp on both sides on top corner
It's quite amazing how most of these 50c coins are worth 50c.......surprising.
Very good look of the 50's Pj i,m not one who takes much from graded coins but for sure if you want to grade it would be good to see what it comes back as mate. I,m finding no 2019 j.c here i have heaps of the language coin and IRB and i have never found a 2010 rotated. HH Brad
*Thanks for the info PJ but I will keep even the most basic/ normal 50c. ;) Aussie coins = the best coins to collect.*
Any ideas where to sell old coins
nice coins
Great video. Could you do a video on the different types of $2 coins, thanks.
regarding the 2010 coin, I have a 2006 coin that is the exact duplicate of that. I took a picture and zoomed it, I cannot see any difference. Am I missing something?
I just found one of these, I was wondering unfortunately the other two were NZ Coins 🥺 but great to know.
New to your channel, find it so very interesting...I have the Marbo 50c and a millennium one but still can’t see which it is..at 74 eyesight is not too flash these days..keep up your great info..cheers..
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching. Get yourself a magnifying lens to help out
Bit of a coin buff I used to clean out coin machines for the work union club I found a double clipped mint error was a real beauty had a large chunk missing and had been caught up during pressing of the coins 🪙 it was a yr of the children 👧 50 c piece I sold it for $400 to a collector 👍😎but iv seen a lotta coins before I ever saw a clipped coin nom post mint damage the clips are kinda easy to work out they have the same raised edge and a double has a secondary scar center of the clip ! I was told this by a coin grader 👍good video mate plenty of info their 😎
Love the show always look forward to watching them , go Aussie Aussie Aussie
I’m curious about the 1970 “Captain Cook” 50cents. Any idea on their value?
Is there a list available of these coins from the video?
If the coins are really dirty, is it OK to clean them and what do you clean them with if it is OK. Cheers!
I love those commemorative coin 50 cents and have them to in my collection, missing those federation states.
I have a lot of those
Hello . Question, 50cent 2004 coa coins, the A in Australia can be pointed or flat. Does this occurr on all of our coins. ?
Hi, I have just recently become a coins collector, I have Old coins and new coins. Thank you for this awesome information it helps a lot. Does anyone have any tips for a rookie collector like me? (I also do go metal detecting to try to find some aswell)
The banks are limiting coin purchases and people using coin machines too often are getting nasty letters and even having their accounts closed down. The CBA at my branch now has a limit of $100 of coins a day which is a long daily drive for me making it unprofitable for me. GL
There are two coins you forgot to mention:
1: 2014 AIATSIS (Mintage 3.0 million)
2: 2000 Fat lettering millenium 50c
I live in Bathurst NSW and I usually find two languages and one or two AIATSIS every time I go through 50c coins.
Also, I usually find one 2019 IRB and one or two 2019 JC. I have found one incused, one 2010 rotated, and two 1993. I have never found a 1966 round 50c or an 1985 50c yet. I have not yet found a Mabo or a rams head though I have found a few rams heads in my change and I had to buy a Mabo. I have most of the state coins except for South Australia and Norfolk Island. Please note that I have been only noodling since October 2021 and I must have very good luck!
Plus I have found 3x 1979 and 3x 1980 double bar 50c and plenty of high-grade coins!
wow.. i've not found either. i get $150 of 50c every week and nothing..
What does IRB mean
PJ I have some of the 1966 and the 1991 I would like to know if you can tell me a where I can find a coin place that may want to buy them thank you
I have found 5 indigenous language 50 cent coins in the last week after never seeing one before. QLD
I found 3 round 50c coin in my last hunt. Amazing
Noodling or something else?
I have around 400 50cent coins of different varieties. How do I found their value.
Do one of these videos for the 20c 10c
Good upkeep of coins
Pj looking to find the value of a 2007 mor 1 dollar coin
Yeah, tell Sam Bankman-Fried that.
I have a few coins i have kept just because I like them including a 50c and $1 super doopers which even have the ice block flavours written on each of the iceblocks on each coin. MEAT PIE WITH SAUCE $1 coin... need my reason? lol nope haha and another $1 coin this time Yarra Valley themed.
Most of those are the 2019 edition I believe. Plenty more to find.
I also got a round 50c in a roll a few months ago but it was from bloody nz! 🤯😱
Yes have also found plenty of those
Lol, I got excited at finding a strange 50c I hadn't seen before in the change drawer at work today-turned out it was a 1980 Fijian 50c..
@@_cloudface_ haha! Its a bummer that happens, as long as we keep SEARCHING 🔍 we have a chance to get a winner 🏆 haha! Best of luck to you 🤞🏻
@@LilyWhiteAkAConspiracyRealist so not to sound too dodgy but it was actually the charity box at work I got it out of-I swear I swapped over a normal 50c for it but that's what got me annoyed lol, it's the same shape as an Australian 50c and I'd swapped usable currency for foreign currency worth less. I did actually look up mintage and there were only 10k minted that year but I dunno who buys Fijian coins.
@@_cloudface_ sounds like an honest & fair exchange to me 🤗 ... you never know you might be able to spend it in fiji one day, I bet its a nice looking coin too 🤷♀️ hey I trawl op shops looking for gold and silver items so you would be surprised what some ppl throw away! You can get some nice artwork too!
One mans trash is another mans treasure, just time and effort required to be a winner!
Loved that video. I have a $2 coin that I believe is a mis-strike, how can I upload a photo?
That round 1966 silver content 50 cent coin maybe worth $11.50 but you cant pick one up from most places now for almost $20.00 . Only about 2 years ago they were $8.00 each
They sell for about $12.50 on the correct forums at the moment.
Great update
thanks PJ
maybe a video on some of the rare errors is overdue
my fav 50 is the crop circle
What's a 1942 s solid silver US quater worth? It's in pretty much uncirculated condition as it was in the old man's stuff and was probably acquired in 74ish when he was in the US. Came across it after he died last year.
Have 3 50cent coins of years 1977,2003 & 2012. Please advise of values Thanks.
Hey PJ thanks for the info, good to know the 1 with indigenous names on it is worth more than face value but my other question is you showed the different state 2001 federation coins but you didn't show 1 with the Australian coat of arms on it, I have 1 of these and is it worth more than face value?
Unfortunately not. The mintage for the Federation coin with the standard Coat of Arms is 43 million whereas the state coins are around the 2 million range. Hope this helps.
I have a200150cent with the chin and the year and the australia what do you think it is worth
Double
I have a 2001 50 cent with kangaroo and emu on coat of arms. Ano value on it ?
My late grandfather had 6 shoe boxes of round 50c coins , kept under the bed. All mysteriously went missing when his rat sons went through his stuff on his death.
I got some of them
I have just gone into my coin tin and found 8 2010 50 cent coins
Did any have the rotation error?
Was the first state coin you picked up a Tasmania 50 cent piece, typical,not only
👍👍👍👍👍
Wondering why the captain cooks 50 cents are not set aside when you find them.
I have a 50 cent that has the rams head in a circle on the back with the queens head how much is that worth
I just inherited over 200 round mint 50 cent coins I also got a lot of rare pure silver
collector coins + many first press coins all up there's near a thousand coins...😃😃😃
That is every coin collectors dream right there. Sounds like a lot of fun to be had.
@@PJsCoinCapers How do I find an HONEST appraiser?
I have 2 50 cent coins both 2001 instead of having the state name They both have Australia engraved on them.
Could you please tell me if they're still worth anything
I had to cannibalize my commemorative decimal coin collection 😭
One of my 2010 coins on the back it has celebrate what's great on the back why is it different to other 2010 50 cent coins ?
I have only one round 50c found in Melbourne
i looked in my purse ,found a 2001 coin ,its sort of blank with a small coat of arms and sez australia underneath.
So are 1970 captain cooks 50c going to be worth holding for the future? Cheers
No
I would still hold them as I still do,They are good for trading and selling to overseas collectors.I keep all commemorative 50 cents and sell them in mini collections of 5 different for $6 to $10 depending on the issues and conditions.You can’t lose as the worst case scenario is you still have them at face value ,Cheers
@coinspot thanks mate I have around 300 so yep will be keeping them
Why are they 350.on ebay
Uh-uh.. I just used ones of those coins in my school canteen for a drink…
Hi PJ, found the 2010 rotated head in my change. I'm in south east Melbourne. I've never found one in any rolls
Good to hear that they can be found in Melbourne
@@PJsCoinCapers , sir I have 50cent coin how much value
I have a one year 2004.Mate
I believe it's tradition and respect for the Union Jack that's why it is not supposed to be carved in to a coin so that's why the error and ID say extra fine but I hope it's better than that but you and others would know more than me
Hi I heard the incuse was for a coloured variety that didn’t make it to circulation so they used the die and didn’t put the colour on it
The paint was meant to be inside the flag
Hi PJ, I found unusual 2018 , 50 cent coin . It says “Resourceful “ I haven’t sent it anywhere . Can you tell me something about it please? Thank you PJ
I found of these........in da club...
