New Zealand circulating coins

Not a wasted effort I will get some better photos so that others can tell the difference in the future and it helps with an article I am writing at the moment.

Is New Zealand the only country silly enough to use one mint for circulating coins and another mint for set coins?

Here is the photos just taken of the difference between 2002 circulation and set types of the 5 cent coin

Do they still use separate mints?
Good image too - plenty of easy to see differences there.

We dont have coin sets any more sadly well we had a silver proof set last year but nothing yet full set wise this year. Back in 2006 or 2007 (don't quote me on the dates i cant find the info)they changed the composition of the coins in the sets anyway so they were really not even NCLT coins at all as they were completely different.

Nzpost are a disaster running this stuff they have no idea what people want and they prices were getting to high so people stopped buying and they thought that making the proof sets more expensive and removing the Unc sets would force more people to spend the money to get the proof's. Now to get a set it is a bit hit and miss I know people are looking at making sets but it is rather difficult as we only had 10 cent coins made in 2012 and 10cents & $1 coins made in 2013 it is a very small set lol. Saying that I should probably make a set with 2013 UNC 10 & 20 notes lol (perks of working at a bank ;-) )

WOW I don't think I like that as it trips me out, think I'm having a seizure :Alvarin_33: Please just use normal pic's as it's just as easy to see the difference or overlap them would be ok as well..sorry I can't handle flashy shit already being prone to seizures

Umm interesting Barry I'll see what I have when I get back as I have a couple of notes.

I had a look and I only have a few old paper and a couple of their new polly notes..sorry they're not pre-decimal Barry

I cant even help much with the predecimal notes. Coins on the other hand give me 20 or 30 more post and I might be able to help. My wife calls me more of a hoarder than a collector but I have been trying to down size a lot this year

No worries AJ....actually purchased the last pre-decimal coin I needed to have a complete date set of NZ Pre-decimal coins. Will now start on the decimal side to find the coins I am missing.
