    Decimal currency was introduced into NZ on the 10th July 1967 about 17 months after Australia....

    Australia was also the first country in the world to have all their banknotes based on plastic.

    OK, I had to look it up. 14th of Feb 1966. I vaguely remember my mum buying 2 cent stamps to post a letter but that must've been a couple of years later because I was only 8 months old at the time....

    Nope. It was pretty much Andy Pandy and the Flowerpot Men for me in those days

    OK, what was the following jingle advertising?

    "A little dab'll do ya"
    "I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

    I was waiting to give someone else a go but looks like they've all gone to the pub.
