From the fair table to the viewing room
Bev started Cash Nimbus in 2012 with a folding table at weekend collector fairs around Adelaide, buying pre-decimal tins from families clearing out houses in the eastern suburbs and the Hills. In 2017 the trays moved into an appointment-only viewing room and the posted orders began from the same table, and what is in the trays still changes every week.
- What
- Australian and world coins, banknotes, and cased mint and proof sets.
- Where
- Adelaide, South Australia. A viewing room, by appointment.
- How
- Over the table, or by tracked post anywhere in Australia.
- Cost
- Appraisal free for up to 30 pieces. Post $14 flat, free over $250.
