About the New Zealand Dollar

The New Zealand Dollar is the official currency of New Zealand, the Cook Islands (where it coexists with the Cook Islands Dollar), Niue, Tokelau and the Pitcairn Islands. Its ISO 4217 code is NZD. Each dollar is divided into 100 cents. Its symbol is $, but often NZ $ is written to differentiate it from other denominations of the Dollar. They are also colloquially called kiwis because the image of the national bird, the kiwi, appears on the 1 dollar coin.

History of the currency of New Zealand

Until 1967 the legal currency was the New Zealand Pound. The pound was divided into 20 shillings and each shilling into 12 pennies. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the possibility of changing the currency to a simpler decimal system ended in 1967 when the New Zealand Pound was exchanged for the New Zealand Dollar.
