History reference:
The Macedonian dinar (denar) has been the national currency and money of the Republic of North Macedonia since 1992 after the collapse of Yugoslavia. A year later, in 1993, a denomination was carried... out in the ratio of 1 new denar to 100 old ones. The name dinar comes from the name of the ancient Roman monetary unit, the denarius. On September 8, 1991, it declared independence and seceded from Yugoslavia. The Macedonian denar as a national currency was introduced on April 26, 1992, first in the form of temporary coupons, and a year later in the form of the first full-fledged issue of coins and banknotes of dinars. The coupons indicated only the denomination without the name of the monetary unit, since the law on the Macedonian currency had not yet been adopted. The coupons were printed on low-quality, low-security paper purchased in Slovenia. The circulation was printed by the printing house "October 11" (Prilep). The design of coupons was developed by an employee of the Prilep printing house within a week.

History reference:
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.
