New Zealand Currency

The currency in New Zealand is the New Zealand Dollar (NZD or NZ$) and it's used since 1967, after the New Zealand Pound.

Today NZD1 is worth approximately €0.62 or US$0.85, and it's on its lowest value since mid May - guess it's a good time to buy some NZD. (To USD and to EUR)

They have the usual system of coins and banknotes, with coins of 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, and 50c:

New Zealand’s banknotes are printed on polymer, which is a type of polypropylene plastic:

The Reserve Bank began circulating polymer banknotes in May 1999. Until then, New Zealand’s banknotes were printed on paper made from cotton. I guess this ones are more fade and tear resistant.
I believe they also have "plasic" money in Australia, not sure.

See ya.

      Já tenho aqui notas. Eu levo aí a baixo para verem. As notas são mesmo de plástico, de polímero, polipropileno, que é moldável.
