    are very ugly. I mean what the hell? The 50c is so tiny (it's reduced in size by 28% don't you know), and the 10c is so coppery....they look like play money.

    I think they suck.....

    They're GAME TOKENS! Or they're MONOPOLY MONEY! Or they're MADE OF PLASTIC (a friend of mine actually bit one to make sure it was metal)!

    Either way, they're not real.

    Sorry, but did you just get rid of your 5 cent? Are you talking about the 10 cent coin?

    yeah, the 5c is gone forever :( , the 10c is smaller, lighter, and equipped with a new coppery sheen, the 20c and 50c are now TINY and they have gotten rid of the sexy ridges on the side.

    Fuck you Reserve Bank, Fuck You.

    I think they're kinda cool, but thats only cos when I pull out my change I find I actually have a lot more money that I thought, seeing as I mistake the 50s for 20s and 20s for 10s

    yeah...i do that too. But it's a small victory considering that these coins herald the end of Table Top Coin Soccer.

    Yeah the new coins are gay. Boo, hiss.

    Are the coppery 10c coins gonna turn manky like the old 1c and 2c coins did? Or did they change the magic coin recipe for it?

    No I think they're turning manky. Craig, this guy who bartends with me, put a ten cent coin into coke overnight. It went real manky. I was gonna dare him to drink the coke afterwards but then I realised that he'd probably die...

    :( I knew these new coins were up to no good. Manky and poisonous. They're just bad news through and through.

    I always thought the copper coins in the coke was a myth. Heh. I don't drink pop so I will have to try my own experiments on someone else!!!
