The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is the official currency of New Zealand, issued by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
The modern “Brighter Money” series showcases the country’s unique wildlife, cultural heritage, and natural landscapes, featuring iconic species such as the kiwi, kārearea falcon, and hoiho penguin.
Current notes use advanced polymer substrates, vibrant colour palettes, and state‑of‑the‑art security features designed for durability and long‑term circulation.
These notes remain the primary legal tender across New Zealand and are widely recognised throughout the Pacific region.

Before the introduction of the current polymer “Brighter Money” series, New Zealand issued several earlier generations of Dollar banknotes.
These withdrawn notes include classic paper issues, older portraits of national figures, and designs reflecting New Zealand’s cultural and economic development throughout the late 20th century.
As the Reserve Bank modernised the currency, older issues were gradually replaced with clearer layouts, stronger security features, and more durable polymer materials.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, earlier New Zealand Dollar notes still appear in stored belongings, travel documents, and long‑kept personal items.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated New Zealand Dollar notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
