When did New Zealand start minting penny coins?
Prior to 1933 United Kingdom currency was the official legal tender of New Zealand, although Australian coins and notes were also generally accepted. The first New Zealand penny was minted in 1940. The penny ran until 1965, when New Zealand stopped minting pre-decimal coins in preparation for decimilisation in 1967.
When did New Zealand coins stop being legal tender?
The old coins were demonetised, i.e. declared no longer legal tender, with effect from 1 November 2006. In 2006, the Reserve Bank ran a public awareness campaign about the new coins that included a website, newcoins.govt.nz.
When did New Zealand start issuing its own currency?
In all, 48 traders (mostly retailers) issued their own penny and half-penny tokens. This practice survived until 1881 with their use gradually declining in the 1880s. In 1897, New Zealand’s currency became subject to certain provisions stated in the Imperial Coinage Act, 1870 (UK).
Why are five cent coins no longer legal tender?
The main reason is that over the years inflation reduced the value of the five cent coin so much that it became a nuisance and of no real value to people making transactions. The old coins were demonetised, i.e. declared no longer legal tender, with effect from 1 November 2006.
