New Zealand Dollars

At present there are two sets of banknotes circulating in the Realm of New Zealand. Issued by the Wellington-based Reserve Bank of New Zealand in 1999 and 2015, both sets of NZ dollar bills in use today are made of polymer plastic. They have advanced security features and a see-through window. We exchange these modern New Zealand dollar notes free of charge. We also give cash for withdrawn New Zealand Dollar banknotes and New Zealand Dollar coins.

New Zealand Dollar coins are minted by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, based in Wellington. Bureaux de change outside New Zealand do not exchange New Zealand Dollar coins. At Leftover Currency we exchange all coins from New Zealand to cash. We also exchange current New Zealand Dollar banknotes and withdrawn New Zealand Dollar banknotes.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand introduced polymer plastic banknotes in 1999. The discontinued NZ Dollar bills made of paper are no longer in circulation. Legacy New Zealand dollar notes are not accepted for exchange by banks or bureaux de change outside New Zealand and the Pitcairn Islands. We exchange all withdrawn New Zealand Dollar banknotes free of charge. We also give cash for pre-decimal obsolete New Zealand Pound banknotes, and current New Zealand Dollar banknotes and New Zealand Dollar coins.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has demonetised all New Zealand dollar coins of 5 cents, 2 cents and 1 cent. These coins are no longer legal tender in New Zealand. In addition, the large type 20 cent and 50 cent coins, and the cupronickel 10 cent coins have been replaced by more recent coins. The old style New Zealand coins are no longer accepted as a means of payment. But at Leftover Currency we still exchange all old New Zealand dollar and cent coins, free of charge. We also exchange all current New Zealand dollar coins, as well as current and withdrawn New Zealand dollar banknotes.
