hello there, you may wonder what good old coins like 1 and 2 cent coins that you find with your detector are too anyone, but i have found a way to put them too good use, if you send your old decimal currency 1,2,5,10,20 and 50 cent coins to me, which i am then able to exchange for New Zealand dollars and used to fund education programmes and scholarships for New Zealand youth. this is called, heads up for kids and you can get more info from the Pakake Lions homepage. if you are interested in donating those brown buggers send them to this address
37 Hally Terrace Temuka NZ
if you send your coins to this adress i will forward them all onto Pakeke Lions who will then use the money to put it in the youth trust.
thanks
