Converting from New Zealand Dollar (NZD) to Gibraltar Pound (GIP)

What is New Zealand Dollar (NZD)

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is the official currency of New Zealand and is widely recognized by its symbol, "＄," or alternatively "NZ＄" to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. Introduced in 1967, the NZD replaced the New Zealand pound at a rate of two dollars for one pound.

The NZD is subdivided into 100 cents and is issued in both coins and banknotes. The coins come in denominations of 10, 20, 50 cents, and ＄1 and ＄2, while the banknotes are available in ＄5, ＄10, ＄20, ＄50, and ＄100 denominations. The currency is managed by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, which is responsible for maintaining stability and confidence in the currency.

New Zealand's economy is characterized by industries such as agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing. The NZD is often influenced by global commodity prices, trade relationships, and the overall economic condition of New Zealand. As a floating currency, its value can fluctuate in response to market conditions and international events.

What is Gibraltar Pound (GIP)

The Gibraltar Pound (GIP) is the currency of Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It was introduced in 1927 and is pegged to the British Pound Sterling (GBP) at par, meaning that £1 is equal to £1 of GIP. This makes the Gibraltar Pound relatively stable, as it follows the fluctuations of the GBP in the currency markets.

Similar to the NZD, the GIP is divided into 100 pence. The currency is available in both coins and banknotes. The coins include denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 pence, as well as £1 and £2. Banknotes come in denominations of £1, £5, £10, £20, and £50.

The Government of Gibraltar oversees the issuance of GIP, and while it is used primarily within Gibraltar, the British Pound is also accepted. Consequently, both currencies are often found in circulation, and international visitors may find it useful to exchange other currencies for GIP when visiting this unique territory.
