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.

History reference:
The dollar (currency code - TTD) has been the official currency of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago since 1964 (before that, the British West Indies dollar was in circulation in the country). The ...history of currency in the former British colony of Trinidad and Tobago is closely linked to the history of the British Eastern Caribbean territories as a whole. The first currency used was the Spanish dollar, also known as the "figure of eight", which began to circulate in the 16th century. Proposals for the establishment of landowner-oriented banks in the West Indies were made in 1661 by the British government and in 1690 by Sir Thomas Dalby. Despite this, and the Queen Annes Proclamation of 1704, which brought the West Indies on the gold standard, the eight silver coins (Spanish dollars and then Mexican dollars) continued to form the bulk of circulating currency well into the second half of the nineteenth century.
