 | | The New Zealand dollar (ISO 4217: NZD, sometimes NZ$ and often informally known as the Kiwi (dollar)) is the official currency of New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, and the Pitcairn Islands. |
 | | Only some state decorations and orders in New Zealand use the abbreviated Latin inscription ELIZABETH II D. (Dei Gratia Regina Fidei Defensor), which means 'Elizabeth the Second, By the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith'. |
 | | From 4 March, 1985 the dollar's value has been determined by the financial markets, and is generally in the range of about 0.40–0.74 United States dollars, with a particularly low valuation during 2001, and particularly high during early 2005, mainly due to the drop in value of the US dollar. |
