Description
Photograph an Australian 5c coin that has a different date of production than any other that has been logged
There is a rumour that the 5c coin is not going to be minted any more.
It will go the way of the 1c and 2c coins, although I believe it will remain as currency.
5c coins have been minted every year (except 1985 and 1986 which were only available in mint sets), since decimal currency was introduced in Australia on the 14th February 1966.
This is one for the numismatists among you, but also one that anyone can log.
Only one log per person unless there are two other logs between yours, and only log one coin each time.
these are the coins still to be logged
1973 1978 1989 1995 2007 2015 2017
Congratulations to Gullivers Travels54 on FTF.

Logs
1966
After looking through the listed remaining dates, I found they had all been found. I contacted the CO and she said I could log what I have.
So lookin through my 5c coins, I found a 1966 5 cent coin! A historical first year coin.

It turns out the 1989 coin had already been used, i had a backup of 2017 but that's been used too now.
I went and raided the piggy banks and came up with a 1989 5c coin.

1973 come on down - looks like its time for another (5) penny drop.
the picture is too big to add to the log so you can see it in the gallery until I learn how to make it smaller

When I moved into this house just over 10 years ago it turned out the previous owner had been storing 1, 2 and 5 cent coins in a jar. I really need to work out if I can cash the 1 and 2 cent ones at the bank these days, it's about $30 worth all up.
Anyway in the 5 cent collection (apart from one that looks the same from Barbados!) I found one from 1989 to fill in another hole in the list. Thanks Cybergran V.

We very rarely have coins around any Moreton we had pretty much decided to let this one slip by the way side, but Bruce the tooth fairy has just started visiting our house and apparently the going rate is $2 and a match box car per tooth.
Anyway, after spending his tooth money the eldest son was give this as change, and luckily enough it happened to be a year that we couldn't find in the logs.
Thanks for the locationless scavenger hunt.

Found this cache when looking through older locationless caches last night.
Got the piggy bank out and the third 5c piece I looked at was 1999.
So we'll claim a find with that one.
Now Mr Beetle is busy counting how much is in there. It won't be much as I usually only throw 5 and 10cent pieces in it.
Thanks.

Went through a small bag of my 5 cents pieces and found 1997, rather then 1994.....so that's another year off the list.
Thanks for the fun Cybergran V.....you could probably do 10 cents as well. They may not be in danger of being 'archived' but it would be another fun Locationless during these current times.

Went through all the logs once again and then my coins and found a coin from 1977! This year has not been logged yet and two logs since mine so I will claim it
Many thanks
Many thanks
1967 - I have pretty much every coin ever minted since 1966 (1985 excepted of course as this was the original series of coins I wanted to collect for our sons 21st birthday) but anyway I kept collecting and now only have a few rare ones to go.
#GA4123 - 17:30; I can add the first one from 1966! Surprised this one has lasted so long to be added 
Rated: for Overall Experience
I noticed two other people have logged since myself, so according to the rules I shall log again
This time I have a 2014 5 cent coin!
It pays to have a collection of these coins that was originally useless!
The only coin I have too....! Don’t have any other denominations because I don’t carry cash!

A different 2016 five cent piece.
We know 2016 has already been claimed so this is just a ‘Note’ to show a different obverse design.
This ‘special’ 5c piece was designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of decimal currency.

We have a coffee table that my husband made and has put 5c pieces in it for us and our four children and 2 grandchildren’s date of birth. One of our daughters was born in 2000 and that has proved to be the most difficult to find- no doubt it was a popular year to collect. Here is the 2000 5c piece

OK I claim 1993.
Some 5 cents coins worthy of keeping out I believe are:
* 1966 is the first year, there are two version - 'short spine' minted in Canberra and 'long spine' minted in London
* Lower mintage 1972 coins
* 1985 and 1986 which were only issued in mint sets
* Certain 1991 5 cent coins have a 'large SD', these are apparently rare and valuable
Cheers!

I was able to do a deal with a fellow worker (you know, 'have you got two tens for a five'? 
) and in the bunch of fives , I found a Carlton Premiership year that hadn't been logged - 1982. Now it has.

I will start the coin collection with a 1966 5c piece, the first year of minting, with the introduction of decimal currency.
This is such an easy locationless I’m expecting lots of logs on this today.
Remember that each year can only be logged once.
First in, first to claim, duplicate years will be deleted.
It is being made easier to check as each year will be removed when it has been claimed.
The coins do not have to be found in chronological order.
