headlines, Australian public holidays and according to experts, the coin industry.
Tiktoker and numismatist (expert in coins, for those of you playing at home) () popped up a vid discussing the value of two Australian $2 coins, which has surged in recent weeks. Wonder why!
The two $2 coins in question are fancy coloured varieties, which Kandiah explains are the “lowest minted coloured coins in Australian history”.
The first is a 2012 Remembrance coin featuring a red poppy, of which only 503,000 were minted. Kandiah says these $2 coins are worth up to $370. Not bad for something that was literally worth $2 when it was made!
The other $2 coin, from the 2013 60th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation, features a purple design. Around 995,000 of these were minted and Kandiah says they are worth up to $180 RN.
As the money expert points out, “the coin collecting market is absolutely crazy right now”.
I never knew I needed to be a coin collector, but suddenly I am elbow deep in my couch cushions trying to unearth gold. Might also stick my head under the car seats to see if a rogue $380 coin has ended up on the floor of my Subaru. You never know!
Aside from these two $2 coins, there’s plenty of random Australian currency that is actually worth big bucks. The very helpful (and wholesome) Kandiah showing a simple way to suss it out, so you can see if you’re sitting on a goldmine.
BRB entering every single coin’s year into eBay. A Queen’s mourning holiday spent right.
