About the two currencies

The Australian Dollar (AUD) is issued by the Reserve Bank of Australia and used in Australia, and also Kiribati, Nauru and Tuvalu. Australia introduced the world's first polymer banknote in 1988. Cash totals are rounded to the nearest 5 cents because 1- and 2-cent coins were withdrawn in 1992.

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is issued by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and used in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau and the Pitcairn Islands. Floated in March 1985 and nicknamed the kiwi after the bird on the old $1 coin. Dairy prices and China's demand move it, and it often trades in step with the Australian dollar.
