Best Answer

The last New Zealand Shilling containing any silver at all, was minted in 1946. From 1947 onwards, all New Zealand Shillings were made from a copper-nickel alloy.

The last New Zealand Shilling was minted in 1965. The 10 cent coins that replaced them had ONE SHILLING marked on them in 1967, 1968 and 1969.
