  • Article is new enough and long enough. Does source #1 say that the British coinage became the sole legal tender? AGFing on #2, #9, #14 and #16. Where is 0.931 in #3? The source says "pou tangata" with a space. Got to say, the way #4, #17 #6 are used is a bit impractical with the lack of page numbers - for example, the bit about the design being more suited for the florin or about Metcalfe's design being rejected for the penny or the lack of commemorative issues. Shouldn't "disliked eachother" be spaced? #7 and #8 do not contain the quotes. #11 says that the minister thought that it would make New Zealanders look like "savage Maoris" not simply "savage", which might be an important distinction. Does #15 discuss the Hector anywhere? That quote doesn't seem to have an inline ref. Didn't notice any copyvio or plagiarism. NPOV wise I can't help but notice that we say the reception was mixed but then mostly mention critiques. Why does the hook say "actually"? File:1933 Shilling, New Zealand, Reverse.png seems to lack a licence for the coin. QPQ is a bit base. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:41, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While the new coinage was welcomed by the New Zealand public, reaction to the shilling was mixed. The ahistorical usage of the piupiu garment (associated modern Haka dance and ceremony) in a combat scenario was criticised, alongside the awkward pose with which the taiaha was held.

Proven by source: There is indeeded criticism of the shilling.
