[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:New-Zealand-2006-10-cent-coin-front.jpg
Image:New-Zealand-2006-10-cent-coin-front.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Degradation of ten cent coin
It is my observation that the new ten cent coins degrade, that is, discolour and wear, extremely fast. I have one here that is so worn and discoloured as to compare to coins that I have seen as old as 1900. Is there any solid evidence of this? Is there a scientific reason? Will future mintings attempt to rectify this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.13.81 (talk) 06:49, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
- I think this is just the nature of copper coins. The copper tarnishes very easily with contact from people's wet acidic hands. Old one and two cents coins wouldn't have stayed shiny for long either. PseudoEdit (yak) (track) 05:09, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Original designs for decimal coins
The images I've seen of the original, rejected, decimal coin designs had nothing to do with modern art or sculpture - the images were of rugby players and so forth. Where does the modern art idea come from? --Helenalex (talk) 07:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] One shilling 10c pieces
Why were the 10c pieces minted with the additional 1 shilling writing; was it meant to help peeople confused by the transition? Also, did the 10c pieces likes this circulate alongside 1970+ 10c pieces until the new coins were introduced, ie if you went to the bank and got some 10c pieces, would some be the one shilling ones? Tarcus (talk) 01:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- The 'shilling' 10c pieces were still in circulation until the introduction of the smaller coins, as were a few actual shillings. Presumably the banks would have included some of them, as they were the same size, weight etc as the normal 10c pieces and so would have been very difficult to sift out. --Helenalex (talk) 22:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Foreign coins
I forgot to ask this last time; does anyone know what the Reserve Bank did with all the foreign coins taken out of circulation? I can't see them melting down other countries coins? Also, what was the most common foreign coin to get in change, and how often? In Australia you come across primarily old style 20c pieces once every so often (maybe 4-5 a year.) Tarcus (talk) 00:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know the answer to your first question. For the second, I tended to come across the Australian 20c and 5c most often, followed by the Australian 10c and Fijian 20c and 10c coins. I can't recall coming across anything else for several years. I had a pile of change I looked through before the old coins were taken out of circulation, and foreign coins made up only a very small fraction of this (probably closer to 1% than 5%). Old local coins would turn up too, such as florins and the old 10c "1 shilling" coin. I got the impression they had a half-life of about 5-10 years, although this seemed to vary by denomination. Of course this is all just my recollection. -- Avenue (talk) 01:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

- You will have to ask them. I would presume they would sell it to a company below the exchange rate and they would take it back to the country of origen and make up the difference. That is big bussiness and does happen. NZ coins are the most common in all denomination, then the U.S and Canadian 5, 10 and 25 cents, U.K 5, 10 pence and 1 pound, Euro 20, 50 cents, 1 and 2 euro. Some Fiji, PNG, Indonesian, Chinese, Singapore and Malaysian coinage. I would presume anywhere that is popular as a tourist destination. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 03:01, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
