Ah Wolly the copper coins have not been used in 20 + years due to the metal was worth more as scrap than the face value the copper commodity coin had! Same for our excellent nikel cad coins, the last silver stuff junked on us is just cheap pressed steel....

Scratch a new coin circa 1995 on and it rusts away....not that great a storage of wealth and energy  for work thats been done...

lol...;-)

Well it would seem that the debasement of our not so soveriegn currency is moving ahead full steam, and as pre planned...

This is good to know! Time to buy more gold and silver whilst the international debt peddlars are still busy at what they do best shafting you! 

Thats probably what Key is probably chit chatting to Bernanke about over in the corporation of the US. NZ is now ripe for the second round of NZ debasement for enslavement and to further the globalist agenda One World Currency naturally owned and run buy the phsycopaths who have bought you every type of artificial/planned crisis you can imagine!

Cue Bono?
