Postal Orders of New Zealand

Postal Orders of New Zealand

Postal Orders were issued in New Zealand from the 1890's until 1986.

New Zealand Postal Notes

These were first issued during the 1890's, but it is not yet known exactly when they were first issued. It has been confirmed that the last day of issue was 31 July 1986.

New Zealand-issued British Postal Orders

It is not yet known when these were first issued. The majority of them were overprinted. They ceased to be issued during 1985 or 1986 due to the announcement by Mr. (now Sir) Roger Douglas that foreign exchange controls were being abolished.

The 5 Shillings denomination was not commonly overprinted.

Any extant examples are very sought after by collectors.
