Prime Minister John Key has taken out Paul Henry's difficult 9-in-10 challenge - but his chosen topic was one close to his heart.
The 9-in-10 game is a regular feature of Henry's morning TV-radio crossover show and challenges a guest to name nine things from a chosen category in 10 seconds.
The prize up for grabs is a car - but the challenge is usually too hard for most competitors on the show, who are usually members of the public chosen at random.
Appearing on the show this morning, Key was given the task of naming nine world currencies in 10 seconds.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the former Forex trader had no trouble rattling off a list of different dollars, easily wining the challenge.
While the winner of 9-in-10 usually takes home a car, the Jeep Cherokee won by Key was donated to a charity drawn from several coloured cards by co-anchor Hillary Barry.
"The one written on the blue card would be a really nice charity, don't you think?" joked Key.
After putting aside the blue and red cards in the spirit of non-partisanship, Barry selected the orange card, which was revealed to be Ronald McDonald House.
