The difference between now and then Here is an example 1$ then is worth now

The 1and 2cent pieces were real popular back then they used to by lollies for 2cents Cheap!!!!

1950 With some coins from the 1950s and on, most of them were the same size and amount 6pence5cent 50Cent Half crown 1shilling 10cent

In 1960 the 2cent and the 1cent coins were turned to bronze Back of a 2cent 2cent 1cent Back of a 1cent Also the 10, 20 and 5cents were all the same size as the1shilling, 1florin and 6pence Back of a 10cent 10cent 5cent Back of a 5cent 20cent Back of a 20cent Back of a 1florin 1florin

New Zealand adopted the portrait of the Queen on every coin in the late 80s the 1cent and 2cent coins went and so that left it with the 5cent as the lowest coin

1$ and 2$ notes were replaced with 1$ and 2$ coins 2$ 1$ Back of 1$ Back of 2$ 2$ Back of 2$ 1$ Back of 1$

During the late year of 2006 the 5cent coins had gone leaving the 10cent coin being the lowest coin, also there was a change in the coins shapes and sizes “any final words” “BYE BYE New Zealand” 50cent (new) 20cent (new) 10cent (new)
