This table provides the ranges of serial numbers used for Series 7 banknotes.

About the table data

This revision has new $5 and $100 2018 production prefixes.

Not all denominations of New Zealand banknotes are produced in every year as production is based on demand.

Generally, new banknotes are issued to replace those no longer fit for circulation.

Our quality assurance programme may require some serial numbers not be issued into circulation.
