good for all of you wanting to travel to NZ but bad for us kiwi's!!
The notes were changed over 10 years ago to depict famous kiwi faces instead of the queen. She has been retained only on the $20 bill and on the back of the coins. There are bills of 100,50,20,10 and 5 and coins 1,2,50,20,10,5. 1 and 2 dollar bills and 1 and 2 cent coins were phased out a while ago.
When travelling to New Zealand it is possible to exchange many different currencies at banks all over the country. New Zealand also has a very good ATM network so it is possible to get cash advances from credit and debit cards.
