Currency
and Costs of Living
New Zealand's unit of currency is the New Zealand
dollar (NZ$). Coins have values of 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, $1
and $2; notes have values of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100.
There is no restriction on the amount of foreign currency that
can be brought in or taken out of New Zealand. However, every
person who carries more than NZ$10,000 in cash in or out of New
Zealand is required to complete a Border Cash Report.
Foreign currency can easily be exchanged at banks, some hotels
and Bureau de Change kiosks, which are found at international
airports and most city centres.
All major credit cards can be used in New Zealand. Travellers
Cheques are accepted at hotels, banks and some stores.
