Two halfpennies enclosed in a letter sent from Christchurch to a New Zealand member of the Royal Air Force, and intended to be used as souvenirs, caused tlie return of the letter to the sender under the regulation prohibiting the export of New Zealand coin. The halfpennies have apparently been confiscated, as the letter came baek with a penny stamp substituted for them. An official note was enclosed, Informing the correspondent that “New Zealand coin is prohibited from exportation except with the permission of the Minister for Finance. In this instance postage stamps have been substituetd for the coin and the letter is returned without surcharge.”
