I guess New Zealand abandoned silver in silver coins about the same time as Canada. Those were nice easy jobs you had BS. No back-breaking work there, which I always found was back-strengthening than breaking. I liked the hard manual labour. It was a great feeling after a few weeks to have an elastic strong body which could go all day and then some more. Dirty and noisy jobs such as grinding concrete and spray painting weren't much fun at all. Fortunately I didn't do those for many weeks. The shrinkage of NZ coins is to me a betrayal of trust and leads me to hold politicians [and electorates] in contempt for such debasement of the measurement of human effort. I recall the "Promise to Pay on Demand" which made sense when there was gold backing which could be paid, but they kept writing that on currency notes long after there was no promise at all. Evil doers! Mqurice
