New Zealand dollar banknotes are banknotes in circulation in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Tokelau, Niue and the Pitcairn Islands denominated in New Zealand dollars. Despite its relative proximity t...o Australia and Polynesia, people began to settle in New Zealand only about 700 years ago. In 1642, the first Europeans appeared on the coast of New Zealand - they were Dutch sailors. In 1769, the English captain James Cook mapped almost the entire New Zealand coast. In 1814, the first permanent settlement of Europeans was founded in New Zealand - Christian missionaries from Australia. In 1840, New Zealand became a British Crown Colony. Before the advent of Europeans, the local inhabitants of the Maori people did not have money or commodity-money. Natural exchange prevailed. Together with European sailors, coins appeared in New Zealand - English, Dutch, Spanish. After New Zealand became part of the British colonial empire, the pound sterling zone spread to its territory.
