Since the 31st of July, 2006, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand began introducing a smaller, lighter coin to replace the existing 10, 20 and 50 cent coins. The 10 cent coin has a copper appearance and the 20 and 50 cent coins have a silver appearance. The 1 and 2 Dollar coins have a gold appearance and remain unchanged from the pre-2006 design.
The 5 cent coin was withdrawn from circulation at the same time and the old 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins are no longer legal tender, although they are redeemable for face value at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
