Coins of the New Zealand dollar were introduced on 10 July 1967 to replace the pre-decimal New Zealand pound. The dollar was pegged at two to a pound, thus 200 cents to the pound.

The act standardized a new currency, the New Zealand dollar, divided into 100 cents. Its value was based on that of the prior coinage, with one shilling being equal to the new value of ten cents. Eight denominations of coin were defined, ranging from one dollar to one half cent. [18] Upon taking effect on 10 July 1967, the act abolished the pound.
The New Zealand penny is a large bronze coin issued from 1939 [a] to 1965. Introduced seven years after the larger denominations of New Zealand pound coinage, the coin's issuing was scheduled to align with the centennial of the Treaty of Waitangi and the New Zealand centennial, alongside the halfpenny and centennial half-crown.
