What Currency Does New Zealand Use?

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.

What Is the New Zealand Dollar Called?

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.

Is the NZD Getting Stronger Against the USD?

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.
