The banknotes are available in denominations of ＄5, ＄10, ＄20, ＄50, and ＄100. New Zealand's currency is known for its colorful designs, featuring notable New Zealanders and important cultural symbols.

The value of the NZD is influenced by various factors, including the country's economic performance, interest rates set by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ), and the overall demand for New Zealand's exports, such as dairy and wool. Hence, the NZD often has a fluctuating exchange rate relative to other currencies.
