Wow, talk about wallpaper coins (A term used for excessive and pointless stamp issues = wallpaper). Then again the amount of pointless stamp issues by Australia Post is even worse - Superman and Phantom stamp packs anyone?
But would it kill us to do something similar (Already premonitioning S = Sweet as bro and C = Chur cuzzie).

Why, I think the Pinnacles are beautiful. I thought it was going to be Pavlova - that is a bone of contention amongst us along with Lamingtons. That was settled when it was found the Lamington was named in 1900 after a Queensland governor, but the archives here found a recipe in an 1881 Nelson newspaper which was for a cake exactly the same as Lamingtons, but called "Dessicated coconut cake" and this 1888 painting of one and a 1895 Wellington cake, also Lord Lamington was here before Australia. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...beyond-doubt |

Crab eater was referring to the 2021 coin hunt where P is Pavlova!!! Hey, us Aussies are as good as our Kiwi cousins at usurping ownership but at least we don't change the name like the Chinese gooseberry. But back on topic, a third round of A-Z really is...  Agree that I would be eager to see an A-Z of other countries, including NZ. Edited by David Graham

I hope that it doesn't happen in Canada. There are far too many commemoratives as it is. However, if so , for X we might consider X-country skiing, which is a bit of a stretch, or maybe X-asperated (with too many coins).

Steve - you mean this (Start searching images and find a scan of every NZ wallpaper sheet issued from 2001 except 2008's Kiwi alphabet)  I would say X = Xtra wet at the moment, due to the floods and now Cyclone Doobie. Kiwi A to Z I think would be A = Auckland - NZ's hubris B = Brew - we all love a good one C = Christchurch D = Drink, because we love to. E = Eketahuna, its world famous for its beer F = Forest - we have it G = Gold - we used to have it More later I have to rush off. |
