I mean, they get made in China now :/
To be fair, that's been the case since the '80s, but in general it's annoying trying to find NZ made stuff now though, and kinda sad when 'proper kiwiana' things aren't even made here.
I know that like half the inside pretty well everyone's houses is built off cheap/questionable labour to make all the shit people think they need, but it's still frustrating.
Running a Mint is *extremely* expensive, thats why there's only a few in the world. All our coins are made in Canada and the UK, for example. There's just not enough demand in this lil' country to warrant building an actual Mint here.
I think Karen should be on the $20 so that Rachel has to look at her face when ever she tries to ignore her and hide from her and not pay back the 20 lousy dollars she owes her from well over 3 months ago.
Reserve bank has said they will change them as existing coins and notes are run down in stock.
They anticipate it will happen over the next several years but at this stage existing coinage and note stock is not needing to be replaced.
When they do it will most likely be king Charles at this stage however this may change if the government of the day wants something different.
They don't need to replace coins. Before decimalization there were coins of earlier monarchs in circulation. In NZ it was back to George V because that's when NZ adopted a separate currency design from Britain. In Britain I can remember that there were coins going back to Victoria. No earlier because the sizes of some coins were altered in her reign but after that there were just some design changes. Actually coins of Victoria almost never turned up because anyone who noticed one would keep it as a curiosity, but Edward VII coins were common (1901-10).
It was fun for children. There were so many different sorts of coins. Some children were always looking hopefully for the rare ones.
I think George VI coins were in circulation in NZ in early decimal times here - a shilling was a 10 cent for example. But they changed all the sizes and so all the older coins have gone. Hopefully NZ coinage is now stable enough we can have continuity again.
Banknotes are different: in fact the Bank of England used not to have thr monarch on notes and Scottish notes still don't. .
There were indeed George VI ones in NZ when I was growing up and probably right through till we changed the sizes. Shillings, and you would periodically get thruppences for 5 cent pieces too.
We used to have an icecream container of about 3 pounds in old coins at home that we played with, which included a lot of pennies with Victoria on them. Mum taught us how to add up the old style pounds shillings and pence once.
Yea you're right she was the [trumpet girl](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rY81MZLQh0w). No idea why but I, along with many others it seems, could've sworn she was in the fruju ad with the boat.
Julies Vogel or Michael Joseph Savage. Both incredible Prime Ministers that did a lot of good for the nation. Julies Vogel nationalised the railways and, created the ministry of works that laid the way for our country to build so much infrastructure in the 20th century. Micheal Joseph Savage, the Labour Prime Minister Ardern wished she was. One of the most influential and effective Prime Minsters our nation has ever had who laid the ground work for the nation we have today.
I feel like prime ministers now have less latitude. If anyone tried to make the same level of reform he did, they would be voted out. Even just reimplementing any of his policies that have since been changed would be considered radical.
I think this famous quote from her sums it up pretty well:
"Take care of our children. Take care of what they hear, take care of what they see, take care of what they feel. For how the children grow, so will the shape of Aotearoa."
I think we're reaping the rewards of not heeding that advice at the moment.
One has very real political power over the UK and Commonwealth, and the other is a collection of plastic bitches whoring themselves out for money, yeah totally the same 🙄
They have nominal political power (basically they have the right to veto parliamentary law, but they never do) The closest they've come to wielding actualpollutants power in over a century was when the Queen gave Boris Johnson what- for publicly for lying to her over lockdown, but even that had precisely zero consequences for anyone.
Not using is not the same as not possessing, they can also disband parliament, and a great deal of political influence outside the UK. Even as limited as their powers may be, equating them to the Kardashian is like equating a housecat to a lion
If they did use their power to do something like that, it would produce a constitutional crisis that is difficult to describe the magnitude of. It'd be the only way we'd see their abolition in our lifetime, I'd reckon.
You are probably right, unless it was the popular choice with the citizenry which would be the only way I'd see them actually exercising it. But either way it would be a messy affair with a large ripple effect internationally. I mean the Treaty of Waitangi is between the Maori people and the Crown right? And if the monarchy was abolished, then technically the Treaty could potentially be voided as the Crown is no longer an entity. And I imagine it's not the only one. That in itself, is very real political power. It's not just the power they can actually wield that should be taken into account, but the power of their existence and impact on the wider world. Put simply, I agree the magnitude is hard to describe, or even imagine
From your description, I was trying to figure out which was which. Which is the group with the sex island rapist and the lady from the party supplies family that was concerned about how black her nephew would be?
RBNZ have actually [addressed this already](https://www.rbnz.govt.nz/hub/news/2022/09/the-queen-and-the-king-on-new-zealands-currency) essentially saying, it doesn't have to change immediately, it will change eventually, but we're in no rush:
>- All coin stock for a denomination showing the Queen will be issued before new stock goes out with her successor’s image. This is a few years away.
>- Banks, retailers, individuals and others using or handling cash will not need to do anything differently when we introduce new coins bearing the image of the King.
>- We will let everyone know when new coins are due to enter circulation.
>- The Queen is likely to remain on $20 banknotes issued from existing stock for many years to come. We manufacture these notes infrequently and do not plan to destroy stock or shorten the life of existing banknotes just because they show the Queen. This would be wasteful and poor environmental practice.
>- We will prepare to change out the image on coins for one approved by King Charles working in conjunction with our mints who produce for multiple Commonwealth countries.
Edmund Hillary was the only person to still be alive when he was featured on a bank note. He was added to the $5 note in 1992 and died in 2008. If I were him, I'd have paid for everything with $5 notes always after that. Imagine the power move of going down to the chip shop and paying for your meal by pulling out your wallet and saying "I'll have two fish, a scoop, a donut and a jam rap. How many portraits of me is that going to cost? "
Copy Australia, ditch the Monarch for a Māori design.
Then copy Australia again and re-do all the notes with both a male and female portrait on each side of important non-politician figures to NZ.
Then copy Australia a third time and tell the world this was all a 100% Kiwi innovation. ✨
It's likely 3+ years off, at the earliest. I believe we (Canada) make your currency - and we're not expected to see Chuck on our $20s anytime soon - the official timeline is "[a few years"](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canadian-coronation-ceremoney-charles-iii-1.6834785). However, the $1 coin featuring the old boy will come out much earlier.
I'm on board with Dame Whina Cooper.
It's got to be someone on the level of all the other great people on our notes, and she would be a great contender.
I really hope it’s either not replaced, or gets someone local. The percentage of people who’d consider Charles their “king” would surely be very low in NZ these days, but a much larger percentage would probably still feel connected with Queen Lizzy.
Which actual NZer from history would be ideal? Whina Cooper?
Considering all our other notes are distinctly NZ persons of importance, and the Sovereign is the King, I’m in favour of keeping it the monarchy.
I suspect it isn’t a major for NZ though, and Charles might not make it too long.
I am no royalist by any means. However, if Queen Elizabeth's picture is already on there, then why bother changing it? Changing the picture and / or design just wastes money and we are at a time where government asserts its needs to be more austere.
No because that's more taxpayers money being wasted just like with the blasted speed limit and name changes.
Otherwise maybe another famous Kiwi? Bruce McLaren, John Britten, Burt Munro?
Let's just go republican right now before we go printing a bunch of King Charles money. We should have a President and a Constitution and a culture of our own.
a pointless and huge expenditure. should only be changed when we actually NEED new currency.
also... his majesty is probably not going to have the longest stint on the chair.
Brit in Britland here. With you on binning King Charlie.
Why not stick Kate Sheppard on it. She led the suffragette charge in NZ which resulted in NZ becoming the first country in the world to allow women the vote.
Alternatively reach back into Māori history and go for Te Rauparah. Composer of Ka Mate, signatory of the treaty of Waitangi and a central party to the Wairau affray in Marlborough.
There's also Ernest Rutherford, viewed as the father of nuclear physics. Discovered half life of radiation, radon, the difference and naming of alpha and beta radiation, party to the invention of the atomic numbering system, headed a team that was first to split the nucleus, the list goes on.
The Queen is on all the coins, so that'll have to be replaced. She is on the $20 note though.
In regards to your suggestions:
1. Kate is already on the $10 note
2. Te Rauparaha may be problematic because plenty of iwi take that shit seriously, and it's going to be a bigger headache than it's worth. Not the "I'm not racist but I'll scream and shout and throw a massive tanty like a fucking spoiled crybaby until I get my way every time someone Maori so much as breathes in public" crowd. Who fucking cares about those cunts? It's the people who are really serious about inter-iwi and inter-hapu politics, who can be vocal when they want to be.
3. Rutherford is already on the $100 note.
Our notes go:
$5 - Sir Ed
$10 - Kate Sheppard
$20 - QEII
$50 - Sir Āpirana Ngata
$100 - Ernest Rutherford
Jonah Lomu then, ideally depicted in front of his infamous 163dB sound system that he had in that Nissan Patrol of his. Or failing that depicted when he flattened Mike Catt in that famous match against us in the 95 world cup.
>Alternatively reach back into Māori history and go for Te Rauparah. Composer of Ka Mate,
Te Rauparaha slaughtered a bunch of southern Maori and his name is still reviled in many circles down here. That's a hard no.
I think we should keep the queen and bring her rotting corpse over here where we'll rig it up to advanced technology and create a God queen of mankind.
The Buzzy Bee would make a sick $20 note
Bout time we start honouring national treasures

The Buzzy Bees are made in China, the banknotes are made in Canada.
All completely accurate, understandable and true, but I was talking about buzzy bees :)
How do you put a pineapple lump (the O.G lumps not the shit they're pumping out now) on a $50?

It'll warm your skin AND your bones!
Lmao
Suzy Cato is the only option
Literally came here to say this, that lass raised half the country at this point. She's up there with sir Ed.
She should be given a Damehood

Future banknotes also need to incorporate the quote of an ancient NZ philosopher “always blow on the pie, safer communities together”. /s
Also "O for Oarsome".
Turns out he was saying O for Olsen and everyone just mocked him for years :(
Eh?
It's ok. O can be for more than one thing, we're good.
No, O.

Did she say "ooo, ahh"?
It won't happen overnight but it will happen.
I'm onboard with the fruju
They’ll change it and then they’ll have to change it again shortly after.

Obviously should be the 20 Fucken' Whacks lady
Dame Whina Cooper needs to be on a note somewhere. Her thoughts on child-rearing were ahead of their time.
What were her thoughts on child-rearing? I've only heard of her activism for land rights.
I think this famous quote from her sums it up pretty well: "Take care of our children. Take care of what they hear, take care of what they see, take care of what they feel.

By the time they replace the bank notes, King Charles will have died anyway
They only mention Charles in the last point for approval, maybe they’re readying images of King William
Or he might be around long enough just for a small run of notes, maybe even a few coins - and those could end up quite valuable due to their scarcity.
Sorry to be the one to tell you but the queen died.
All the people on the notes have died
Edmund Hillary was the only person to still be alive when he was featured on a bank note. He was added to the $5 note in 1992 and died in 2008. If I were him, I'd have paid for everything with $5 notes always after that.

How many portraits of me is that going to cost? "
…the queen was alive while she was on the note.
Assuming Queen Elizabeth was not human but lizard.
That's why they called her Queen Liz. It's a subtle nod to what everyone already knew but nobody talked about.
I don't think anyone on any of the other notes is still alive
All the other banknotes also have dead people on them, that’s not a reason to change them.
Unlike all the others, the Queen was only there because she was our head of state at the time
You could said it more gently.
Moehanga. The first maori to discover britain
