Hey Boony. Question for you...............:)

Hi Boony,
Since you are from down under, I figure that you can answer my question. I hunted some military playgrounds today and I always seem to come up with a foreign coin or two. Well, I dug up this coin from Australia and the gold color had me going there for a moment... It says two dollars and I was wondering what it might be worth in US currency? Also, do you know what the composition is of these coins to give them the gold color? Thanks for any help on this. HH.

Hi. I'm not Boony, but I'm in Australia. Those are very commonly used here, as well as the one dollar coin (the smallest note we have is a $5). The composition is Aluminum-Bronze. The Australian dollar is currently worth about 75.9 American cents, so it's worth about a buck fifty. I have actually found over fifty dollars in one day of detecting a popular park here, mostly comprised of $2 coins. That'll put a smile on your face, eh?
Neat find!
Toby

Thanks Toby for the information. I guess Boony is too busy digging up stuff............ I like finding other coins besides US. Finding $50 in one day at a park would put a smile on anyone's face. WTG.HH.
