The Reserve Bank has unveiled its bolder, brighter new banknotes it says will combat counterfeiters.
The new notes still feature the same famous faces, flowers, and birds, but have greater colour contrast, bolder print, and larger security windows.

They also feature more te reo Maori.
The notes will cost about $80 million to print, plus an additional $40 million for the security features.
Hang on a minute. What's this about new banknotes being printed? I thought money grew on trees.
