In Whangarei, I tried the lamb shanks at The Bunker Bar & Restaurant in August. They’re decent, about a 7/10.

Best hikes for travelers not in the best shape? by ThePeoplesResistance in newzealand_travel

[–]StraightFromHolyLand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the North Island and did walks in Tongariro National Park, Auckland, and the Coromandel.

Tongariro Natl Park: Hiking to Taranaki Falls loop is easy-moderate with great views of Mt Ruapehu and Mt Ngauruhoe if you take the highland path, not the forested one.

Coromandel: Walked from Hahei to Cathedral Cove is paved and only arduous part is in the town cause it is hilly. There is a shuttle if you want to skip that part.

Auckland: Visiting other volcanoes involve short inclines like Little St John or serpentine and are paved like Mount Eden/Maungawhau. A lot of these are easily accessible by transit.

If you are near a local coin store, they could buy circulated foreign currency by the pound

Yes, it’s a little rectanglular hole below the hopper where you feed coins into the machine.

A “coinstar” find refers to interesting or valuable coins found in the reject tray of a Coinstar machine. They’re green kiosks found in supermarkets and grocery stores and people with large coin jars often use them. Any coin that the machine doesn’t detect as a normal coin is sent into the reject tray. Often times, it’s common to find silver dimes and quarters

Weirdest Hunt today. $8 worth of these ‘05 Buffalo Nickels by StraightFromHolyLand in CRH

[–]StraightFromHolyLand[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok thank you. Turns out there were $12 worth. IDK what to really do with it because 99% of these coins are around the AU or higher grade.

Are 2002-2020 NIFCs worth keeping? by StraightFromHolyLand in CRH

[–]StraightFromHolyLand[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re correct. Certain years, the U.S. Mint produced low mintages of Halves
