DOMINION COINS FOR 1937
NO ORDER YET PLACED The New Zealand Government has not yet placed its order with the Royal Mint for its 1937 coins, so that no King George VI money will be in circulation in the Dominion at the time of the Coronation, according to an announcement made by the Treasury. New Zealand's silver coins are made at the Royal Mint, but the pennies are the same as used in Britain. No indication has been given of when the Dominion's new coins will be issued, but it is not likely to be for several months. King George VI pennies, such as will later be in circulation in New Zealand, have already been issued in Britain. At the Melbourne Royal Mint, Australia is producing a special Coronation crown piece.
