What money does new zealand use

New Zealand uses the New Zealand dollar (NZD) as its official currency. It is abbreviated as "$" and is divided into 100 cents.

The New Zealand dollar is issued by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, which is the country's central bank. The banknotes are available in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, while coins are available in denominations of 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2, and $5.

It's worth noting that while the New Zealand dollar is the official currency, many businesses in New Zealand also accept foreign currencies, such as the US dollar, Australian dollar, and Japanese yen. However, it's generally recommended to use the local currency to avoid any potential exchange rate issues or fees.
