perfect introduction for those new to this
fascinating fi eld – this is an outstanding
opportunity to enjoy the value and variety
of international currency. Offering a
breathtaking discount on bulk lots, our
World Coin Half Kilo Bag is now available at

to offer these bulk lots at well under the
standard price. With a market value of $25

Half Kilo Bag of World Coins
A very popular fi eld, Australia’s predecimal penny series is historic, fascinating and extremely affordable – never more so than right now! With a colossal copper accumulation at our disposal, we can offer dynamite discounts on half-kilo bags of the classic 1938-64 ‘Bounding Roo’ penny. Now at over 50% off!
The perfect start to a collection, a half-kilo of circulated George VI and Elizabeth II pennies (55 coins) would usually cost around $30. For a limited time only, that price is like the coins – a thing of the past. While our colossal cache of copper lasts, an unsorted half-kilo of pennies is $16 off!
The penny drops!

Part of Australia’s fi rst decimal coin
issue, and demonetised in 1991 as

opportunity to secure the iconic
copper 2c coin in bulk lots – at over
20% off usual retail!
A deal such as this does not
come along every day. The 2c has
been melted in huge numbers
as a result of the recent surge
in the value of copper, and the
opportunities to secure this type in
volume are thus becoming scarce
– especially at a price like this!
