New Zealand Dollar to Chilean Peso

The New Zealand dollar (international symbol: NZ$, code: NZD, number: 554) is the official currency of New Zealand, Tokelau, Pitkern, Niue and the Cook Islands. 1 dollar is divided into 100 cents. Locally the money is called "kiwi" to commemorate the famous flying bird which is depicted on $1 notes.

It was officially introduced in 1967 to replace the pound. Since 1999 durable polymer fibers are used in production of banknotes.

The Chilean peso (sign $, code CLP) is the national currency issued and spread only in Chile. The Chilean peso can be changed into coins named centavo. Every CLP has 100 centavos.

The currency had appeared in circulation in 1817, but was later replaced with escudo. However, the Chilean peso has been issued again. Today, both currencies are used at the same time. In 2008, the state mint has issued 50 commemorative coins with a misspelling of the country’s name. Some of these coins were sold at auction. Having a face value of 50 peso, their price could go up to 20 thousand peso. This nuisance led to the fact that the head of the mint was fired.
