Noodling finds

[Hercules]

Never really worked out why but any New Zealand coin from the 2000s is less common in change. Maybe the mintages were lower.

Not according to my information. The real reason we don't get many is because they were withdrawn before they had a chance to migrate to Australia, and a lot of people decided to hoard them rather than spend them over here.

Just sussed numista and it looks like a lot are mint set only coins so that might explain why a little and also like Herc said and they were hoarded when they changed the size.
Down the bottom of page 3 are the 20 cents and onto page 4 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/nouvelle-zelande-3.html

Gee they reduced the size heaps as they went from an 11.31g coin down to 4g, that would save them heaps..and especially when so many coins are mint set only.

I got my information directly from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Here's the link: www.rbnz.govt.nz/-/media/ReserveBank/Files/Statistics/tables/f4/hf4.xls

Maybe we don't get as many because the kiwi's are to scared to come over now as they don't know when Mr potatohead is likely to sent them home for no reason :shock:

I have plenty of good, circulated NZ 20¢ of all (circulation) years if anyone is short of a full set. Give me a cooee if you want some.

Nice find Jeff.

[Hercules]

Awesome! I wish I could find them as quickly as you. :wavemulticolor:

[autocoupler]

Good find, and looks a little better than the usual after 17 years :good: Was it random or noodled?

[JeffH]

Was it random or noodled?

Found my first 50 years of decimal currency $1 last night.
Unfortunately, it looks like the mob of Roos has has a slight run in with a grinder...

I have looked but cannot find a definition of "Noodling" other than hand catching flathead catfish in USA.

Can some one give me a definition or is there a definition somewhere I can look up.

Thanks
