New Zealand rejects common currency with Australia
Dec 02, 2006 10:05 AM Category: Oceania
According
to a December 6, 2006 article in The Dominion Post,
New Zealand’s finance minister Dr. Michael Cullen has
rejected an Australian committee’s suggestion of a
common currency.
Australia’s House of Representatives standing committee on legal and constitutional affairs recently issued a report with a number of suggestions for harmonizing the legal and governmental systems of the two neighboring countries.
Dr. Cullen rejected the possibility of a a common dollar, saying “There’s no such thing as a common currency on the table and there never has been. The Australian Government has made it clear that if we wish to adopt their currency we can do so. There’s been a suggestion that New Zealand might adopt Australia’s currency—we are not going to do that.”
Both countries currently use dollars and cents, and the notes from both countries are printed on polymer in Australia. However, the Australian and New Zealand dollars trade separately and are not interchangeable.
