New Zealand Dollars Banknotes & Coins We Accept

About New Zealand Dollar Exchange

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is the official currency of New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, and the Pitcairn Islands. We accept all denominations of New Zealand Dollar banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current New Zealand Dollar Banknotes

New Zealand’s current banknotes were introduced in 2015 and are printed on a durable polymer substrate, making them resistant to wear and counterfeiting. The range includes a variety of denominations, and we accept them all — including the NZ$100 note and the NZ$20 note, as well as all smaller denominations in the same series.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we’re happy to buy older withdrawn New Zealand Dollar banknotes, including those issued in 1999 and earlier series going back to 1967. Whether you have a NZ$100 note issued in 1992 or something as old as a NZ$5 note from 1967, we’ll make you an offer. Damaged notes are also considered provided they remain at least 50% intact, though the rate offered will be slightly lower than for notes in good condition.

New Zealand Dollar Coins

We accept New Zealand Dollar coins, including the 50 cent coin and smaller denominations such as the 10 cent coin, covering all current sizes. We also accept the older dollar coins, including the NZ$1 coin and the NZ$2 coin. Do bear in mind that coin exchange rates are slightly lower than banknote rates due to the additional handling involved — something you’ll find consistent across other Pacific currencies such as Australian Dollars.

  • Accept coins and damaged notes that banks won’t take

New Zealand Dollar Exchange FAQ

Do you accept New Zealand Dollar notes from before the 2015 polymer series?

Yes, absolutely. We buy banknotes from all previous New Zealand Dollar series, including those issued in 1999, 1992, 1985, and even older notes going back to 1967. Older withdrawn notes are accepted at a slightly reduced rate, but there is no need to worry about having an out-of-date design.

Can I exchange New Zealand Dollar coins as well as banknotes?

Yes, we accept New Zealand Dollar coins including the current 10, 20, and 50 cent pieces introduced in 2006, as well as the NZ$1 and NZ$2 coins. Coins are exchanged at a slightly lower rate than banknotes to account for handling, but unlike many high street bureaux we won’t turn them away.

I have some old NZ$1 and NZ$2 banknotes — are these still exchangeable?

Yes! New Zealand withdrew its NZ$1 and NZ$2 banknotes when it introduced the equivalent coins in the early 1990s, so these notes have been out of circulation for some time. We still buy them — you can see our specific exchange pages for the older NZ$1 and NZ$2 banknotes going back to the 1967 and 1977 series.

How do I send my New Zealand Dollars to you and when will I be paid?

It’s straightforward — simply box up your New Zealand Dollar notes and coins and post them to us yourself. Once we receive your currency, we’ll verify it and aim to pay you within 5 working days via bank transfer or PayPal. If you’re not happy with the rate we offer, we’ll return your currency to you free of charge.

My New Zealand Dollar note is torn — will you still exchange it?

Yes, we can accept damaged New Zealand Dollar banknotes provided they are at least 50% intact. We’d recommend keeping all pieces of any torn note together before sending. The rate for damaged notes is slightly lower than for notes in good condition, but we’ll always make you a fair offer.
