Five Cents 1979 (mint sets only), Coin from New Zealand - detailed information
| ||||||
The New Zealand five-cent coin was the lowest denomination coin of the New Zealand dollar from 1990 to 2006. The five-cent coin was introduced when the New Zealand dollar was introduced on 10 July 1967, replacing the New Zealand sixpence coin, which - having exactly the same dimensions - remained legal tender and in parallel use. Coins issued in 1979 were in mint sets only (not intended for circulation); any that were released would have circulated for 27 years before they were demonetised on 1 November 2006. | ||||||
