New Zealanders To See Aust. Decimal Change
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Nov. 5. The Decimal Currency Board will send two representatives to Australia to observe the change-over to decimal currency on February 14. “The Government has decided that the chairman of the board, Mr S. L. Moses, and the secretary, Mr J. N. Searle, should spend one week in Australia before the change-over and one after,” the Under-Secretary of Finance (Mr Muldoon) said today. “Developments in the Australian change-over have been studied closely and this has been of tremendous assistance to New Zealand planning. “We have been in close touch with the Australian Government and Decimal Currency Board, particularly on problems of machine cower-
sion, coinage and general publicity. "Observing the actual change-over will be of the utmost interest to us and will further benefit New Zealand in ensuring our own smooth change-over on July 10, 1967. “During the visit Mr Moses and Mr Searle will visit banks, retail shops, transport authorities and machine-con-version plants. They will also spend time with the Decimal Currency Board in discussing the policy and organisation of tile change-over.”
