Here is my 2 cents so to speak
The News is out that the our NZ Banknotes will get a make over.. But no new Faces!
What? do we only have 4 Kiwis worth celebrating...?
However There are a few more Kiwis that could have a go so to speak I Nominate John Clarke in a Black Singlet for the $5 Maybe Beatice Hill- Tinsley for the $10 perhaps, Kiri Te kanawa or Erueti Te Whiti on the $50 and Sir William Pickering for the $100.
I personally would also Like to see our Iconic Scenery on the Notes, the View of Mitre Peak, Queenstown from Bob’s Peak, Wellington from the Cable Car, Auckland’s Harbour Bridge
the Volcanic Plateau from the Desert Road, Lake Manapouri’s Panorama, Lake Tekapo & Mt Cook, Lake Waikaremoana, Otago Harbour... We can go on... The point is There are lots of cool options we can use if we fancy a change in our change..
And I would Love to see the $1 coin have the old 1c Silver Fern on it and the 2c Kowhai on the $2
