Dating back to the settlement of New Zealand and prior to New Zealand issuing its own currency in 1933, the usual range of British coins and some Australian coins were circulating as legitimate currency in New Zealand. Pre-1933 British coins would have included the gold Sovereign and Half-Sovereign, the silver Crown, Halfcrown, Florin (Two Shillings), Shilling, Sixpence and Threepence, the bronze Penny, Halfpenny and Farthing. The Australian currency of the time was almost identical to the equivalent British coins and included the silver Florin (Two Shillings), Shilling, Sixpence and Threepence, the bronze Penny and Halfpenny.
New Zealand and Australia have distinct currencies. Australia has the Australian Dollar and New Zealand has the New Zealand Dollar. They are not interchangeable or usable in both countries and they have differing values.
