Collect Authentic New Zealand Banknotes
A Rich History of Currency
New Zealand’s currency history is a journey through colonial heritage to modern innovation. At SKIT NOTE, we offer a curated selection of New Zealand banknotes that captures the spirit of the nation. Whether you are searching for the classic imagery of Captain Cook or the modern vibrancy of the polymer series, our inventory caters to every level of collector.
Explore Our Categories:
- Pre-Decimal Era (Pre-1967): Before the Dollar, there was the Pound. Explore our range of historic Trading Bank notes and Reserve Bank issues featuring the Coat of Arms and Māori iconography. These rare notes, denominated in Pounds, Shillings, and Pence, are the cornerstone of any serious NZ collection.
- The Paper Decimal Years (1967–1999): Relive the changeover. We stock the original paper series featuring Queen Elizabeth II, including the iconic “Hardie” and “Brash” signatures. Look for pristine examples of the $1 and $2 notes, which were replaced by coins in 1991.
- The Polymer Era: Following Australia’s lead, New Zealand transitioned to polymer in 1999. Our collection includes the Millennium issues and the current distinct series featuring notable figures like Sir Edmund Hillary ($5) and Kate Sheppard ($10).
