New Zealand uses the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) as its official currency, represented by the symbol $ or the code NZD. It is the only legal tender in the country, divided into 100 cents and issued in both coins and banknotes, with denominations designed for everyday transactions, from small purchases to larger payments.
The NZD is also the official currency of New Zealand's associated territories, including Niue, Tokelau, and the Cook Islands (where the local dollar is pegged 1:1 to the NZD). It is also used for practical purposes in New Zealand’s Ross Dependency in Antarctica.
The official name of New Zealand’s currency is simply the New Zealand Dollar, abbreviated as NZD. However, locally and in the trading world, it is often referred to as the “Kiwi,” a nickname inspired by New Zealand’s national bird. This term is widely used in financial markets.
The strength of the New Zealand Dollar against the US Dollar fluctuates based on global market trends, interest rates, trade balances, and central bank policies. As of October 2025, the NZD is currently slightly strengthening against the USD, driven by factors such as USD weakness and interest rate differentials. Short-term forecasts indicate a potential continuation of this trend.
To see the most accurate figures, you can use our live currency converter, giving you the clearest picture of NZD strength at any moment. For the best timing for buying or selling NZD, sign up for our currency rate alerts to track live changes as they happen.
