Kiwi is a slang term for the New Zealand Dollar and its Currency code (NZD). The name derives from the fact that kiwifruit are native to New Zealand. The kiwi is also a national symbol of New Zealand, appearing on the country's coat of arms.The Kiwi dollar has been relatively stable since it was introduced in 1967, but has seen some volatility in recent years. In 2015, for example, the Kiwi dollar fell sharply against other currencies after dairy prices collapsed. However, it has since recovered and is currently trading near historical highs against both the US Dollar and the Australian Dollar.So what does all this mean for you? If you're planning a trip to New Zealand, make sure to bring plenty of Kiwis with you!
