| 746941 | 2009-02-11 20:41:00 | When I worked in Aussie 77 to 80 a couple of times it was exactly dollar for dollar. Never seen it like that since. | Bantu (52) | ||
| 746942 | 2009-02-11 21:08:00 | I remember when shops wouldn't take a Aussie 2 shilling piece as it was worth quite a bit less than the NZ 2 shilling. But then, that is showing my age :p Ken |

IIRC, around about the same time the USD was dollar for dollar with the NZD, the Canadian dollar was worth about NZD1.15, the FJD was worth about NZD1.40. And the JPY - you needed several hundred yen to buy a NZD!!! Oh how times have changed!!! (I was working for a bank at the time - when there were only four banks in New Zealand: ANZ, BNZ, Bank Of New South Wales and National. And you had to fill in Reserve Bank forms to purchase - or sell - foreign currency) |

And you had to buy British Postal notes of 1 pound at a time, to be able to buy anything from overseas. But they said NZ was rich then ! (I never believed them) |
