Hi Max - we had trouble sourcing any version of this! There may be a longer one, I'll see what we can find out...

Is there a longer version of this? Australia had something nearly identical, but it was transmitted in Long and Short versions. ALSO : Were there any TVNZ news reports on rejigging the tills at the shops, as had to be done in South Africa and the UK (and AU too, but have not seen any news reports on this aspect of the change over).

The Base 240 (Pounds, Shillings, Pence) originated with the Holy Roman Empire -- that as Ripley points out was neither Holy nor Roman nor an Empire.
