I don?t think I have the ability to move individual posts, only threads so, in order to finalise the clearing of the Master Website List thread, I?ve copied and pasted over the last two posts.

I came across this article:

New Zealand has only had its own coinage since 1933, before that date, it used British coins.
In 1967 New Zealand changed over to decimal currency, and about the same time started to issue special coins for collectors, in the form of proof sets, dollars, and uncirculated sets. Many of these feature attractive designs.
Unlike Australia, New Zealand issues no gold bullion coins, and has only issued gold coins, all commemorative proofs, on six occasions. The mintage figures are all low.

It seems like it may be difficult to acquire gold coins in NZ. That's the most unfortunate thing I've come across so far. The global fiat currency system, in my humble opinion, is on the verge of collapsing but that's a whole other discussion.

Are there any restrictions on importing gold coins and/or bullion into NZ?

I guess that would depend on how much! I'm sure there's no problem bringing in a personal collection, but if you're talking Italian Job quantities, then I expect you will be investigated quite thouroughly!
