Money & Costs

NZ’s currency is the New Zealand dollar ($).

Banknotes are printed on polymer, a type of plastic that will survive a trip through the washing machine!

Notes come in $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 denominations. There are 10 cent, 20¢, 50¢, $1 and $2 coins.

Note: 10 cents is as low as it goes. Smaller coins have been taken out of circulation so prices are rounded up or down to the nearest 10¢.

The NZ$ usually sits around:

US$ 60-65 cents
GBP 50-55 pence
Euro 55-60 cents
Aus$ 90-95 cents
Yen 75-85 yen

For up to date exchange rates, see Bank of New Zealand/exchange-rates

Costs

The strength of the NZ dollar will make perhaps the biggest difference to foreign visitors, but even then New Zealand is a fairly expensive destination.
