Currently there would be the new 10, 20 and 50 cent coins and the 1 and 2 Dollar coins.
The 1 and 2 cent coins were demonetised on the 30th of April, 1990 and the 5 cent coin was also withdrawn and demonetised on the 1st of November, 2006.
The 1, 2 and 5 cents coins are no longer considered legal tender.
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 new 10, 20 and 50 cent coins are made of plated steel. 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 are made of aluminium-bronze and 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The 5 cent coin was withdrawn from circulation at the same time and the old 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins are no longer legal tender, although they are redeemable for face value at the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.
There is a range of non-circulating $5, $10, $20 and $150 coins that would be considered legal tender, but because their actual value is significantly greater than their face value, only a fool would use them.

∙ 13y agoPrior to New Zealand getting its own currency in 1933, the British currency was used mostly, along with Australian Coins which were the same in value and almost identical in size.
From 1933, New Zealand coins were issued including the Threepence, Sixpence, Shilling, Florin (Two Shillings) and the Halfcrown (Two Shillings and Sixpence). A Crown coin (Five Shillings) was minted in 1935, 1949 and 1953.
From 1940, the remaining New Zealand coins were issued including the Halfpenny and the Penny.
New Zealand coins circulated side by side with the British and Australian coins for quite a few years.
At decimalisation in 1967, New Zealands new coins were the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins.

∙ 12y agoWhen New Zealand changed to decimal currency, the coin sequence was chosen to be the 1-2-5-10 set, rather than 1-2.5 -5-10. Apart from the dollar=100 cents, that's it as far as coin names are concerned. Just cent and dollar.

∙ 12y agoCirculated New Zealand decimal coins are not worth more than face value unless there is something exceptional about them. Uncirculated coins in mint condition might get a few dollars depending on the coin.
New Zealand first issued its own currency in 1933 and included the Threepence, Sixpence, Shilling, Florin (Two Shillings) and Halfcrown (Two Shillings and Sixpence) all of which were made from 50% silver up to and including 1946. From 1947 onwards, they were made from a copper-nickel alloy. The bronze Penny and the Halfpenny followed in 1940.
The predecimal coins are all collectible, it really depends on how much money you have to spend on a hobby.
