FIND RARE AUSTRALIA COINS FOR SALE

G’day, coin collectors! Stanley here, reporting on my trip to Australia in 1972. In case you’re new here, let me explain: I have a time machine for my coin hobby.

I arrived in the city of Melbourne, and I gotta say, I was not a fan. The streets were crowded with cars and people, and the buildings were all so modern and sterile. I missed the old-world charm of Canada. But, I soldiered on.

I had to be careful not to offend anyone with my Canadian accent. And of course, I had to be mindful of the ongoing conflict between the Australian government and the Indigenous people. It was a tense time, and I didn’t want to get caught up in any trouble.

To get some coins, I tried my hand at street performance. I thought a little juggling routine might impress the locals, and I was right! A small crowd gathered, and some of them even gave me coins in appreciation. One guy even gave me a rare 1930 penny, which is worth a pretty penny now (pun intended).

I also ventured out to some of the smaller towns and fishing villages, which I found much more charming than the big city. The people were friendly and willing to trade coins for a good story or two.

After my trip, I decided to sell some of the coins on eBay and auction off some of the rarer ones to collectors. I kept a few for my own collection, of course. I mean, what kind of coin collector would I be if I didn’t?

Overall, I have to say that my trip to Australia wasn’t my favorite. But, I did manage to get some great coins and learn a thing or two about the country’s history. So, if you’re a coin collector looking to add some Australian coins to your collection, I say go for it! Just be careful out there, and don’t forget to appreciate the history behind each coin.
