:welcome: to the forum Cooper and :birthday: mate, you probably put this in the wrong spot but don't worry the mods will work it out and you need to read the rules about buying and selling as you need 50 post before you can do things like that but hang around as there's a lot to learn about and a pretty good lot here that are happy to help :good:

hi cooper

cool that you dad sourced a round 50c for you - I like that coin too
the 50c are great and I started on decimals by putting together the 'commemoratives'- that is the special issue ones that have other designs rather than the standard emu & roo shield

it can be good fun and you don't have to spend a fortune

never been to NZ so I know nothing about the coin shops there
cheers - have a good trip over to NZ
