Something it keep in mind.
Quote from the RBA site. " According to the Reserve Bank Act 1959, Australian banknotes are legal tender. According to the Currency Act 1965, coins are legal tender for payment of amounts which are limited as follows: * not exceeding 20c if 1c and/or 2c coins are offered (however, it should be noted that these coins have been withdrawn from circulation but are still legal tender); * not exceeding $5 if any of 5c, 10c, 20c and 50c coins are offered; * not exceeding 10 times the face value if coins in the range 50c to $10 inclusive are offered; and * to any value if coins of value greater than $10 are offered." |

If they're worth more than 5c, probably get better money as scrap metal

But yeah I forsee a move towards a cashless society and a bigger control of who gets what and who doesn't. In the end we are giving the government more power in letting them implant RFID chips on our person so that they can or cannot allow us to get everyday items. It's a ploy for more control. Think about it. *puts flame suit on*

I remember a drunken night where a mate & I paid $40 for pizza delivery in various denomination coins. We videotaped it too, the pizza guy was not happy but there wasn't much he could do about it.
These days my coin routine is pretty much empty the wallet of silver every night into a container, keep the gold, and every six months or so bag the money up and take it to the bank, exchange for notes and buy myself something I've wanted for a while, usually a DVD or something. Most I ever cashed in one run was about $150 - it was NOT fun carrying that much coin to the bank!

I was at the bank the other day and a bloke walked up to the coin counter with a trolley that had large bags full of coins on it. He proceeded to put the coins in the machine and kept going and going, approximately $8000 later the machine broke and he was waiting for someone to help him with it.....he was probably halfway through the bags....where does someone get so many freaking coins!!!

I read the reason for scrapping them was the cost to make them, not whether they were used in circulation. Personally I’d like to see them remain. Sure I have a draw of 5 cent pieces here at work, but they add up. If my purchases were rounded up, then that is less money to the consumer.
