what is the name of the organisation that issues currency in new zealand
Talk of establishing a Reserve Bank in New Zealand went on through the 1920s. The decision was finally taken in 1930, and steps went ahead to set it up with sole authority to issue New Zealandâs currency. Work to design new banknotes began in 1932.
Previously the Reserve Bank of New Zealand notes had been printed by Thomas De La Rue and Company of London. In 1979 the Reserve Bank put the next year's note order out to international tender. The contract went to Bradbury Wilkinson and Company (NZ) Ltd who had recently built a note printing plant in Whangarei.
