What is the value of a New Zealand Millennium Ten Dollar note that has a red serial number and a red stamp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

These notes are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are Uncirculated or are part of a packaged set in mint condition, they are worth Ten Dollars.

A Reserve Bank of New Zealand 2000 Millennium Ten Dollar note with red serial number, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition, could fetch anything up to $30 NZD.

I can find no reference to a "red stamp", but you may refer to the two ferns in the clear window which may appear red in the right light.

Asked by Wiki User

The Maori warrior on the reverse of the New Zealand Shilling does not represent a particular individual.

All New Zealand coins have a uniquely New Zealand image, or something relevant to New Zealand history on the reverse.

The reverse of the New Zealand One Shilling coin shows a crouching Maori warrior carrying a taiaha.

When did the two and one cent coins come out of circulation in New Zealand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As with many countries, New Zealand withdrew the 1 and 2 cent coins due to the fact that they had no purchasing power, which subsequently made them expensive to produce. They had effectively become useless coins.

The New Zealand 1 and 2 cent coins were demonetised on the 30th of April, 1990 and are no longer considered legal tender.

The New Zealand 5 cent coin was also withdrawn, and demonetised for the same reasons on the 1st of November, 2006 and are no longer considered legal tender.

NOTE - All New Zealand 1, 2 and 5 cent coins are redeemable for face value at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

With the possible exception of traders tokens (with the traders business name on them), there were no "New Zealand" Pennies minted prior to 1940.

Any Pennies circulating in New Zealand prior to 1940 would have been mostly British Pennies and some Australian Pennies.

What is the most valuable New Zealand Penny?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The New Zealand 5 cent coin was withdrawn and demonetised on the 1st of November, 2006.

All New Zealand pre-2006 5 cent coins are no longer legal tender, but they are redeemable for face value at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

Unless they are part of a Proof or uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 5 cents.

The one and only exception to this is the 1967 5 cent coin with "no sea" in the background behind the lizard. This is the only New Zealand general circulation 5 cent coin to have some collector value. Of the 26.3 million coins minted, it is estimated that about 1 million of them are of the "no sea" variety.

When was the Farthing taken out of circulation in New Zealand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

New Zealand has never issued a Farthing coin.

New Zealand's own currency was issued progressively from 1933. Copper coins were issued from 1940.

Any Farthings circulating in New Zealand would have been British Farthings which would have been progressively removed from circulation from 1940.

Which years are considered valuable years for New Zealand Pennies and Halfpennies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1954 and 1955 are good years for Halfpennies because there were so few minted, but 1942 would be the best year. For Pennies, a 1956 variant is easily the best value, a 1945 variant a distant second and 1941 and 1942 coming third.
