New Zealand's New Bank Notes Revealed

New Zealand's banknotes are getting brighter and better, with the Reserve Bank today unveiling more vibrant and secure banknote designs which will progressively enter circulation later next year.

The Bank today also launched a Brightermoney.co.nz website which contains basic information about the notes and the wider upgrade project. It will be progressively updated over time, and it will eventually become a one-stop-shop for industry players, retailers and the public to up-skill themselves about the new notes.

In a speech, Reserve Bank Deputy Governor Geoff Bascand said designs and printing techniques have advanced significantly since the current banknotes were released in 1999, and demand for cash continues to increase.

The new designs still feature the same well-respected individuals and flora and fauna as the current banknotes.
