    None of the coins you showed are rare. You just showed standard coins we use every day in AUS (except the 1c and 2c coins which are no longer in circulation).

    Also all these designs are still produced today.

    My mother has referred to them as spiny anteaters but usually we call them echidnas. "ee-kid-nah".
    Some of our pronunciations probably make you think, "How do they get that from that???" 😝
    But anyway...
    The Emu we pronounce "ee-m-yoo". The sound "m" makes we combine with "yoo" so it sounds like "myoo". "ee-myoo".
    The frilled neck lizard is pretty common in the outback (desert) and it is showing it's threat display on the 2 cent coin. It is pretty harmless though and only does it as a defence display running towards you on two legs to scare off would be predators before running away.
    The Superb Lire Bird on the 10 cent piece is showing it's display it uses when it performs on its mound of built up debris where it will drape it's long tail feathers over its head (which take on the shape of the musical instrument "lire" like a harp) and mimic anything from whip birds to chainsaws and kookaburras. It's song is so superb it sometimes sounds better than the original bird species. The sound has been described as "silvery" it's so crisp and perfect and echo's through the bush (forrest). And we pronounce the Lire Bird as "lie-er". It's eye you can see if you follow the left side of the zero straight down.
    You got the feather tail glider right! 👍
    And the platypus you almost pronounced the same as us, just the "pus" part we pronounce more like calling your cat like "puss puss" and less like squeezing a pimple "puss".
    And yeah, I hope that's helpful. I wish I could think of a better analogy for that last one.. Lol

      According to the Royal Australian Mint, NO 50 cent coins were produced in 1967. If you have one with that date, it is either a forgery, or you have something which should not exist, and therefore is worth shit loads.

    • @chriso6666

    These coins have not changed from 1966 till 2018 in their design with exception to the round fifty cent coin. The only change to the coins with regards to the mintages is the fact that the queens portrait changes, otherwise they are the same.

    It's called an echidna it has sharp spikes all over it's back and rolls up into a small ball and then it is safe from being attacked by other animals. A smart animal won't bother it ,or it just gets jabbed by the spins. Long nose to get into ant nests which it lives on. This is why people call them ant eaters.

    The title says rare coins to look out for. He does NOT say these are all rare coins 🙄 and it's evident to those who have watched the full video that he points out which coins are rare due to defects as he moves up through the denominations ... Jesus, why do millennials feel the need to constantly feed their superiority complexes and point out where you think others are wrong?

    5 cent animal pronounced ekidna. Australian version of porcupine
    10c lyre bird mimics other birds chirps
    Every denomination of 50c except 50c weighs 1 ounce. E.g.. 5c+ 5c+ 10c+10c+20c =50c= 28.3grams. The 50c picture is the Australian national emblem. The kangaroo and emu (eem-you) are both native animals to the continent. They both appear on the emblem because neither animal can walk backwards. So we always strive forward.
