pufferfishnz Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 i know this is going to sound like a REALLY weird question but............ does anyone know how many 5 cent coins were in circulation before they were taken out?? Im sure someone out there knows or has inside info. there is no particular reason for this.... i have just always wondered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suphew Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 But do you know what happened to them?? I have a friend who works for RBNZ, the scrap was sold to a company that makes landmines (amoungst other things) but we did get a letter from them assuring the country that our particular scraps coins wouldn't be used for weapons so I guess thats alright then :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
