Coloured $2 Coin Collecting Albums // Perfect For Casual Collectors!

For all purchases of these albums I've decided to pitch in and contribute one commemorative coin of the denomination of the album for all 50c, $1 and $2 albums
Check out the range of albums here - thompsonscoins...
Thanks for watching and be sure to let me know which commemorative coins are your favourites in the comments!

This brings back memories. I have coin albums from my childhood and remember collecting the different years of American coins.

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Nice one! Are they the old Dansco albums? They were and still are very popular with Australian collectors over here! I hope you are well 😄

[@cultureofcurrency]

@@ThompsonsCoins They might be! They would probably be from the 80s

[@stephensecombe2027]

Hi Matthew, well done a great variety of storage options, my Favourite $2 coin is the Indigenous Military Coin a GREAT design and I agree with the $1 Changeover Coin STUNNING and the 1991 Ram's Head has always been my fav Fifty Cent Coin as you know Australia would be lost without our beautiful sheep. all the best. Stephen.

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Hi Stephen! I agree the Indigenous Military $2 is a VERY nice design and was produced in a very appropriate style. Can never go wrong with that iconic rams head too!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@oscarmorgan2598]

What a great one. Super exciting addition

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks for watching Oscar!! 🥳

Hey Matt Nice folders you got there. Wonder if they have a folder for commemorative 20c coins as well? My favourite $2 coin would have to be the 2012 red poppy. Simple and beautifully designed. My favourite $1 would also be the 2016 changeover and my favourite 50c coin would have to be the 1966 round along with the 1991 25th anniversary of decimal currency aka Rams Head.

[@ThompsonsCoins]

I bet they will eventually! I'll keep an eye out and might have to do a follow up video in the future! The poppy is definitely the most iconic coloured $2 and I doubt it will be surpassed anytime soon! Ohh the rams head was a fantastic design, I am a huge fan of that one too!! Also, love the round 50s of course!

[@stephenbeyer4315]

As a kid I remember being fascinated by those Jubilee 50c coins. They had just come out (yeah I'm old) and they were the first coins I had seen with a different image than normal. I remember them being quite common at the time

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Nice one Stepehen! Was it that coin that got you into collecting perhaps? They are still quite common now which I think is a good thing as it allows anyone to get hold of them at a reasonable price and enjoy them 😊

[@stephenbeyer4315]

I started last year, so not quite, but probably started my fascination and interest

[@williamdavis3578]

In canada we have alot of different colored coins ... they put them in circulation but in low numbers ... I bought some at my LCS last weekend ... as they can be hard to find .... so much fun and usually historic

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Hi William! I looove the Canadian coins, I truly think they are the most advanced mint in terms of the application of colour to coins in the world! I'll be doing a video in the future with a comparison between the two counties coloured $2 styles so keep an eye out for that! 😊

[@kaynefryday1251]

Really cool idea Matt , I love the books , and how they can be a awesome way to help get and keep young collectors into the hobby 👍

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks for watching Kayne! I absolutely agree! There's so much to learn and enjoy with the hobby and perfect for young collectors too! 😊

[@jamiefrost2091]

A man of endless talents, thanks Matt. Btw, I can’t quite make out that silver coin on display to your left!!! J

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks for watching Jamie! It's actually a shop display! They were given out to coin dealers by the Royal Australian Mint back in the day to promote their coins. The back is totally blank! Maybe one day I'll do a video on it 😆

[@YomaoT12]

I was just looking at your website thinking wow hopefully there’s another video soon 😂

[@ThompsonsCoins]

It's becoming harder and harder to find the time to make these videos so I very much appreciate the kind words!! :)

[@susanboucher317]

I have a lot of coins I’m overwhelmed from my late husband I need to sell please l me know

[@robbie8142]

Thanks again Matt! I remember you saying a while a go that these storage/show albums are a collector's best friend! Absolutely correctamundo!!! Cya!

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks for watching Robbie! They are definitely a great way to display your collection and forms a great conversation piece!

[@jenna5677]

How cool! Love your work as always Matty boy!!!

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks for watching Jenna!! Always nice to see your comments! 😄

[@davewhite4205]

Very informative 2 facts l didn't know! The 1dollar is a inch in the old measurement and u can spin the silver jubilee 😂 Always very interesting vids, always something to learn. Keep them coming. Cheers Dave

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks for watching Dave and it's music to my ears to hear of anyone learning something new from my videos so you've made my day! 🥳

[@SomeNewKid]

Great video, Matt! It was a nice, personal touch to end with mentioning your personal favourite coins in these denominations. Without doubt, the 1977 Silver Jubilee is the prettiest 50-cent coin. And the 2016 Changeover is an inspired $1 coin (as indeed are all the changeover coins). For the $2, I agree that the Honeybee is a lovely coin. I would suggest the various Red Poppy $2 coins are more beautiful, but unfortunately they're tainted by the unjustified high price and the abysmal RAM release last year-so I have a love/hate relationship with the Red Poppy. As always, loved your video. (And I just received the 2023 Tooth Fairy coin from Thompsons Coins. Thanks!)

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks so much for watching! I think your relationship with the poppy is becoming more and more common with genuine collectors. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video and that your tooth fairy coin arrived safe and sound! ☺☺

[@AustrianStacker]

Beautiful coins. Australia is one of the countries with the best coin designs. 👍 I hope you’re doing well buddy. ✌🏼🇦🇹

[@lovecraftianwalrus4490]

I love the 2 dollar coronation coin. It’s a shame it’s such an expensive one haha. I also really like the ram head 50 cent coin celebrating the 30th anniversary of decimalisation.

[@Seven-Seven-77]

50 cent Round 1966 and Bicentenary of James Cook's 1770 voyage, $2 poppy, $1 dinosaur

[@ThompsonsCoins]

I should have known you'd go the round 50 Scott! Love the Bicentenary coin too that's a very intricate design! Those dinosaur coins were fantastic too, it's interesting to see Auspost are unable to sell them and have heavily discounted them! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@roxysdadstacking9968]

Thank you for another great informative video mate your a wealth of knowledge.

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks for the kind words and support mate I really appreciate it!

[@roxysdadstacking9968]

For me it’d have to be the poppy as it’s for my birthday. And the 50c would be the Charles and Diana and the $1 it’d be the changeover but never seen one in the flesh

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Excellent coins all round! The Charles and Diana coin was VERY popular upon release for obvious reasons and it's interesting to see that there are still a number of modern proof coins being produced with Diana on them.

[@bigo2032]

Nice video, along with being a stacker, I also collect modern coins in a similar album here in the US, Keep Stackin bro

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Nice one!! It's always nice to have a balanced portfolio in that sense, some coins for stackin' and some for enjoying! 🤣

[@howardgreen9718]

Great video thanks

[@kaynefryday1251]

The greatest decimal coin in Australia would be the 2017 $2 Mars coin 👍 $5000 in unc

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Once upon a time I used to sell those same coins for $40 each!! Hard to believe now right?!

[@cuttysark7034]

We need these albums cheaper unless you want to sell them full of coins! Cut the price in half and I'm in.

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks for watching! There are cheaper albums out there on the market but I was a big fan of the style/theme on these albums. I wouldn't suggest to put your entire collection into on of these folders, I view them more as a stand alone collection to put together for enjoyment or to introduce someone to the excellent hobby of collecting. I'm afraid if I cut the price in half and pre fill the folders I wouldn't be in business for much longer🤣

[@poulskovdam4390]

Thanks Matt, great looking folders and would be great to give to the grandkids empty and get them to find and to collect them and fill the holes, where can they be purchased and how much

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks for watching! I agree, coin collecting forms such a great tool for bonding between generations as well as education. They are available in the accessories section on our website which can be found here - thompsonscoins.com/collections/accessories

[@peecee1384]

An album like this, which instead holds capsuled coins, would be great. Then the coins would be protected but still visible. I assume these only hold circulating coins. Nobody is going to put a Mars coin in one - I hope 😂

[@Capncoin]

Please do a video about the captain cook 1772 resolution and adventure medallion!❤

[@ThompsonsCoins]

Thanks for watching!! I'll add a captain cook video to the list! It'll take me a while with my current schedule but I'll ENDEAVOUR to get to it! 😂

[@Vanessa-vq5ub]

Hi mate. do you have a video on long term storage options?

[@jamiefrost2091]

Hey Matt, what’s the difference between milled and reeded edge??

[@ThompsonsCoins]

They are actually the same thing! Just different phrasing. Both are commonly used in the biz when referring to coins :)

[@timothyhill6072]

Hi Matt was wondering if there is a transparent sleeve or something to keep my 14 coin 35 years $2 coin collection safe from mould etc cheers tim

[@peecee1384]

On the 2023 Fighting spirit Gold coin there is a mark on the reverse that looks like a triangle over two shields. Any idea what that is about?

[@kaynefryday6637]

Hi Matt , is there a spot in that $2 coin book for the 2017 $2 Mars coin 😂

[@YomaoT12]

Do you sell them Matt I’m looking at buying a $1 and 0.50 cent one

[@ThompsonsCoins]

I certainly do! They are available in the Accessories section of the website here - thompsonscoins.com/collections/accessories

[@berilmurray9879]

What do recommend to properly store coins?

[@ThompsonsCoins]

A great question! I actually did a video on this exact subject which you can check out here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYHUf31uqsesqtk Thanks for watching! :)
