New Zealand dollar

The most recent New Zealand dollars feature either the explorer Edmund Hillary ($5); suffragist Kate Sheppard ($10); Queen Elizabeth II, who will be replaced by King Charles III once the current supply has run out ($20); Māori politician Āpirana Ngata ($50), or physicist Ernest Rutherford ($100). The reverse of the $100 note (pictured) shows a bird known as a yellowhead, or mohua, while the tree is a red beech.
