The kina (ISO 4217 code: PGK) is the currency of Papua New Guinea. It is divided in 100 toea. The kina was introduced on 19 April 1975, replacing the Australian dollar at par. The name comes from the kina shell, which was traditionally used as currency in New Guinea.
For earlier currencies used in Papua New Guinea, see New Guinea pound and New Guinea mark.
Coins
In 1975, coins were introduced for 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 toea and 1 kina. The 1 and 2 toea were minted in bronze, with the others in cupro-nickel. The 1 kina was holed. In 1980, 50 toea coins were introduced.
Banknotes
In 1975, notes were introduced for 2, 5 and 10 with 20 kina introduced in 1977. 50 kina nites were introduced in 1989, followed by 100 kina in 2005. Since 1991, nearly all Papua New Guinean notes have been produced in polymer rather than on paper.
