New Zealand Mint – history of the mint

New Zealand Mint is the only private mint in New Zealand. It has been producing bars, medals and coins for more than five decades, and uses precious metals of the highest purity for its products.

New Zealand Mint does not mint New Zealand dollars – the country’s official currency comes from the Royal Mint and Royal Canadian Mint on behalf of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Instead, New Zealand Mint fulfills orders from other countries to produce local currency. It is here that coins for Niue, Fiji and the Cook Islands are made.
