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 Māori art, like the koru symbol on the $20 note, representing new life and growth. The $50 note showcases a carving of Tāne Mahuta, the Māori god of the forest, along with traditional Māori patterns, celebrating the country’s rich indigenous heritage.
  • New Zealand’s banknotes feature native birds. The $10 note, for example, showcases the rock wren, and the kiwi bird appears on the $20 note. These images celebrate New Zealand’s unique wildlife.

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.
