My New Zealand Large 20 Cent Collection All Found In Circulation In Australia

I'll have to dig out my New Zealand coins which will help me here in Melbourne to look at something worth while, instead of looking through the bars on our windows.

Princetane I get your drift re Australia becoming a little Americanised. I hope we, in the Southern Hemisphere, can keep our unique, still unpretentious, cultures going and continue to exchanging thoughts and ideas between us across the ditch.

I can't imagine trying to explain to anyone from the Northern Hemisphere how Trevor Chappell displayed to both of our countries his peace guardian attribute qualities in 1981, can you?

Yes I did, back in 2006 I worked in a $2 store and the last day of large coins was Sep 30 2006 and as a result, people brought in bags of the things. Luckily I was the store manager then and had to count up the takings at the end of the day.

To my surprise in the $325(!!!) of 5 to 50c coins were 2 x 50c and 2 x 20c dated 2005. Needless to say I brought them that day. Also in the piles of rusted and green coins was a worn 1942 silver shilling.

I held on to the coins and last year sent Triggersmob a pair and kept the other one for myself.

And very much appreciated, thank you Princetane.

Well done - I've lost track of what I found in change and what I ended up buying but I would easily have found more than half in change.
The kiwis seems to outnumber the other design by a massive margin in change here though.
