N.Z.’s Changing Coins
Gradually, and without noticing any difference, the people of New Zealand are paying into banks and over the counters of shops the silver coinage introduced in 1933, and receiving in exchange coins of cupro-nickel. The change has been going on since 1946, and so far about £1,000,000 worth of half-crowns, florins, shillings, sixpences and threepences has been withdrawn from circulation and replaced by coins of identical design and appearance as fast as the British Mint can supply them. About £3,000,000 worth remain to be converted.
