About US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency, used in approximately 88% of all foreign exchange transactions globally. Introduced in 1792 with the Coinage Act, the dollar became the cornerstone of the international monetary system under the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement. Even after the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, the dollar maintained its dominant status - oil and most global commodities are priced in dollars, and major sovereign debt is primarily denominated in USD. The Federal Reserve System (Fed) manages US monetary policy.
About New Zealand Dollar
The New Zealand Dollar (NZD), nicknamed the "Kiwi" after the native flightless bird on the one-dollar coin, was introduced in 1967 when New Zealand decimalised its currency. It is the tenth most traded currency in global foreign exchange markets. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) manages monetary policy with an inflation-targeting floating exchange rate. New Zealand's export-oriented economy is based primarily on dairy products, meat, wool, and wine, alongside tourism and financial services.
