Australian Coins On Local Market
There was a certain amount of Australian money in circulation in and around Whakatane»when the exchange rate altered, but most of it has found its way into the banks or the Power Board’s slot meters by now. For the information of any unfortunates who find a few of these now unpopular coins in fheir pocJkets, it can be said to their comfort ..-that an Australian threepenny piece is worth 3d at Whakatane today. That happy state of affairs'' does not hold higher up the scale. A sixpence is worth only sd, a shilling 9d, and a florin 1/7.
