<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 219649, member: 4626&quot;]Well it&#039;s a general complaint I have about all mints, including the US, lol... they need to do more to keep the circulating coinage interesting if they hope to keep coin collectors interested in their modern circulating coinage.&nbsp; I like what the US and Canada have at least attempted in that regard, with things like the state quarters, president dollars, the millenium series in Canada, etc.&nbsp; I basically collect almost all coins by type, US and world, so I look out for interesting designs more than anything else, and if they keep the same design for too long I&#039;ll probably only get one of the type and that&#039;s it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looked at the New Zealand&#039;s Mint&#039;s online site ( <a href="http://www.nzmint.com/nzmint.mv" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nzmint.com/nzmint.mv" rel="nofollow">http://www.nzmint.com/nzmint.mv</a> )... a lot of it just looks like junk to me, especially colored coins, which I despise, but there is some nice stuff there.&nbsp; (Well I&#039;m not a big fan of the term &quot;medal-coin&quot; lol, I&#039;d have to say that applies to a lot of stuff here if I ever decided to use it.)&nbsp; The tuatara coin does look nice, if a little steep (About $60 US, with shipping to US comes to about $80 US.&nbsp; Pretty high shipping, but within reason for travelling several thousand miles I guess.&nbsp; For reference, NZ $1 = aprox US $0.75.).&nbsp; Will pick it up anyway though, be a nice companion to the proof set I&#039;m getting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
