Without doubt this would have been when the first traders arrived in NZ in the late 1700s or early 1800s to service the Sealers and then the Whalers.

They probably used any currency to hand - Australian, US, Spanish, Dutch and so on.

Prior to the arrival of traders there would have been no need or knowledge of currency.
