Asked by Wiki User

There were two variants of the New Zealand Two Dollar note.

A New Zealand Two Dollar note (Issue 3 [1967 - 1981] - Queen facing to the left)(depending on the Chief Cashier and serial number), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch anything from $35 to $100 NZD. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from $6 to $30 NZD.

A New Zealand Two Dollar note (Issue 4 [1981 - 1991] - Queen facing forward)(depending on the Chief Cashier and serial number), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch anything up to $15 NZD. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from $5 to $7 NZD.

New Zealand Two Dollar notes were last issued in 1991. A Two Dollar coin replaced them.

What is the last date that silver coins were minted in New Zealand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Zero. No general circulation New Zealand decimal coin has any silver content, or any other precious metal.

Prior to 1947, New Zealand predecimal silver coins had a 50% silver content.

All "silver" coins minted from 1947 onwards were made from a copper-nickel alloy.

The only exception to this was the 1949 Crown (Five Shillings) which was minted from 50% silver.

Are 2007 10 cent New Zealand coins rare?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It should be noted that the "rarest" coin is not necessarily the same thing as the "most valuable" coin.

The New Zealand 1935 Crown (Five Shillings)(Waitangi) is New Zealands rarest coin and possibly the most valuable general circulation coin, in this case.

There were 660 general circulation coins minted and 468 Proof coins minted.

There are quite a few New Zealand coins with various minting errors and other little peculiarities, but known quantities of these usually number in the thousands.

Why is the kokako on the New Zealand Fifty Dollar note?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The unique feature of the New Zealand (1992) Five Dollar note is that it was the first New Zealand bank note printed with somebody other than the reigning monarch on the front and, that the person, Sir Edmund Hillary (1919-2008), was still living. The New Zealand Ten (Kate Sheppard), Fifty (Sir Apirana Ngata)and One Hundred Dollar (Lord Rutherford of Nelson) notes, issued at about the same time, also featured people other than the reigning monarch on the front, all notable New Zealand historical figures who had all long since died.

What would New Zealand 65 shillings in 1963 be in nz dollars today?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

New Zealand changed to decimal currency in 1967. Pounds, Shillings and Pence are no longer legal tender but, will be redeemed for the equivalent of face value by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

Bad News for you though, is what it was worth when transfered to NZD (New Zealand Dollars) back when all the Pound was transfered is what it is worth today.

There is not 'conversion rate' that goes up and down as the New Zealand pound has no significant value as it is not traded elsewhere.

Good News is that you may be able to sell classic money online on New Zealand sites like trademe.co.nz where coin/note collectors may pay more than face value for it!

Good Luck.

For a straight conversion from pounds to dollars, 100 pounds is equal to $200.

For a CPI (Consumer Price Index) inflation adjusted conversion, the CPI calculator at the RBNZ website will help you. One hundred pounds back in 1955 is equal to approx $4,500 today.

A full set of New Zealand Halfpennies (1940 to 1965) in average condition might fetch up to $35 NZD.
