All about NZ currency

What countries use the NZ Dollar?

Of course, when travelling to New Zealand, you'll need to convert your AUD to NZD, but there are also a few Pacific Island nations that use the Kiwi Dollar!

Places that officially use the NZD include…
Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau and the Pitcairn Islands.

New Zealand notes and coins

Like the Australian dollar, the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is divided into 100 cents.

NZD coins come in 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, $1, and $2 denominations.

NZD notes are available in $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 denominations.

Fun facts about NZ cash

New Zealand's banknotes feature beautiful Maori art and design elements throughout, celebrating the country's rich indigenous heritage. The notes incorporate traditional Maori patterns and motifs alongside native flora and fauna, making them some of the most visually distinctive banknotes in the world.
New Zealand's banknotes feature native birds. The $10 note showcases the whio (blue duck), and the $20 note features the karearea (New Zealand falcon). These taonga species celebrate New Zealand's unique wildlife and ongoing conservation efforts.

Travel Money Trivia - New Zealand edition

The ‘kiwi’ was one of the proposed names for the kiwi currency, which sadly wasn’t selected – but that hasn’t stopped traders from calling it the ‘kiwi’ anyway.
The Kiwis have some amazing laws stopping people from going nuts paying for things with coins – you can’t use any more than $5 worth of coins individually worth less than $1 – so no paying for a movie ticket with 10c pieces (you’d miss your movie anyway).
If you slip a sneaky Australian coin in the mix with your New Zealand dollars, the nicer shopkeepers might not mind – but only if you’re really nice to them too.

Good to know

Be warned: you’ll cop some hard-hitting and hard-to-understand questions at the airport if you try entering with more than NZD $10,000 in cash, so make sure you fill out a Border Cash report if you need more than that.

What is the best place to buy New Zealand Dollars in Australia?
A dedicated foreign currency specialist will almost always offer a better deal than a bank, post office, or airport exchange. Here's how the options compare:
- Banks typically charge transaction fees on top of a less competitive rate.
- Post offices offer limited currency options and variable rates.
- Airport exchanges are the most expensive option. Buy before you travel, not after you land.
Travel Money Oz charges no fees or commission on NZD cash purchases, offers a Price Beat Guarantee on in-store purchases, and stocks New Zealand Dollars every day across 90+ stores as part of our In Stock Promise. You can also order NZD online for same-day click & collect or home delivery.
Is it better to exchange AUD to NZD in Australia or New Zealand?
It's almost always better to exchange AUD to NZD in Australia before you travel. Airport exchanges in New Zealand typically offer less favourable rates and higher fees. Sorting your kiwi dollars before you leave also means you arrive financially prepared, with cash in hand from the moment you land.
Travel Money Oz offers competitive AUD to NZD rates, no fees or commission, and same-day online ordering with click & collect or home delivery. Find your nearest store if you'd prefer to buy in person.

How much is 1 AUD in NZD?
The AUD to NZD exchange rate changes throughout the day based on global market conditions. The two currencies are relatively close in value, with AUD typically buying slightly more than 1 NZD, but the rate does move and it's worth checking the live figure above before you buy.
Travel Money Oz updates its AUD to NZD rates in real time, so the rate you see is the rate you get. Ready to lock it in? Order NZD online or visit your nearest store.
What affects the AUD to NZD exchange rate?
The AUD to NZD exchange rate is influenced by a range of economic factors, including:
- Interest rate decisions by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand
- Commodity prices, particularly for agricultural exports from New Zealand and minerals from Australia
- Inflation data in both countries
- Broader market sentiment, as both currencies tend to move together given the close economic ties between Australia and New Zealand
Rates change daily, so it's worth checking the live AUD to NZD rate above before you buy.
How do I convert leftover New Zealand Dollars back to AUD?
How much spending money do I need for New Zealand?

- Mid-range travellers average NZD $150–$220 per day once accommodation, dining, and activities are factored in.
