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.

History reference:
Afghani is the official currency of Afghanistan. The currency has a long history and was introduced in 1926. Then it looked like a coin made of 900 silver and contained 10 g of pure silver. At the ti...me of the appearance of the currency in the country, rupees were used, Indian, Kabul, Russian and Bukhara coins. Indian rupees were especially common. Afghanistans first own banknotes appeared only in 1935, when they were issued by the National Afghan Bank. In 1991, the banknotes of the period of the kingdom formally lost the force of legal tender, but in fact continued to be used in circulation. During the period of anarchy, warlords and other political movements used their own Afghanis. Until 2002, there were two types of Afghani in circulation: “pressure”, issued by the central government and “dostumi”, issued by order of General Dostum in the territory under his control. Outwardly, they did not differ, the difference is only at face value. The special currency of the Northern Alliance was also used. All banknotes since the April Revolution were printed in the USSR, then Russia.
