2013 Coronation Purple Coloured 2 Dollar in Circulation

[Steveqld]

I almost died of shock, well actually I stood there like a nutter absolutely speechless when I got the purpular coin in my change today at the bakery!!

I hotfooted it straight around the corner to the Commonwealth Bank and picked up 2 new coin Armaguard bags with Aboriginal and purple coins mixed about 25% purple coin. Pushed my luck a bit further and walked to another branch but no luck at all there.

Saw my first one in Qld today. Was at the bank (NAB at Coolum) and heard the teller mention the purple $2 to a customer 2 in front of me so I asked when I got up there and they said they did have a few bags. Two tellers pulled 1 bag each out and they were full of new 2013 $2 coins but one only had 1 purple coin in it and the other had about 4 so I asked for the second. All other 2013 coins were the standard.

No problems, the teller then tore the bag open, poured the coins over the counter and slid them over the counter as she counted them with her fingers all over them. So I then asked for the unopened bag with 1 coin in it instead.

Managed to also get another bag that had 2 purples in it.
