About New Zealand Pounds Exchange
The New Zealand Pound (NZP) was the official currency of New Zealand prior to decimalisation in 1967, when it was replaced by the New Zealand Dollar. We accept all denominations of New Zealand pound banknotes, including older series and damaged notes.
Current New Zealand Pound Banknotes
The New Zealand Pound is a fully withdrawn currency — no current series exists, as it has not been in circulation since 1967. All New Zealand pound banknotes are now historical items, and their value to us is based on their collectability and condition rather than a live exchange rate.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we buy the full range of withdrawn New Zealand pound banknotes, including higher-value notes such as the 50 pound note issued 1956 and the 10 pound note issued 1956, as well as earlier issues and lower denominations across all series. We also accept damaged notes, provided at least 50% of the banknote remains intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower to reflect condition. If you have notes from the Australian Pounds era or similar pre-decimal currencies, we can help with those too.
New Zealand Pound Coins
New Zealand pound-era coins — including shillings, florins, and other pre-decimal denominations — are not listed in our exchange index at present. If you have coins alongside your banknotes, please contact us and we will do our best to assist.
