Hi Adele, I cannot say what money was used in the early days in New Zealand, but in early New South Wales I have found several documents, some as early as the 1820s which refer to Rewards, fines, rent payments etc to be made in "So many pounds sterling". I suspect that it may have been similar in New Zealand.

I have just googled UK Coins on Wikipedia, easier to see the coins there then in the flesh with my old ones.. thank you all for the interesting responses.. May even drive down to see a collection one day! Get a friend to accompany me. But some of my copper coins are so worn they don't have anything to read on them, but cant part with them can I! dust collectors but interesting history. especially the 1866 silver 3d. I remember living in London and having the small 3d used in the Christmas Puddings, had to be the silver ones. I have one! But have more coins somewhere in the cottage so hunt will be on one day and put them all together, I do have some early NZ coins as well.. I didn't come to New Zealand until 1970, home to London, 1972 and back here in 1976. Married a Kiwi in Surrey.

as Ireland was part of Britain then they probably used British coins.

I found this on Wikipedia, I hope it helps. European settlement Thames was formed from two historic towns, Grahamstown and Shortland, of which many original buildings still stand. Shortland was to the south of Thames and was founded on 27 July 1867 when James Mackay, civil commissioner for the Hauraki District, concluded an agreement with local Māori. The land was rented for mining purposes for the sum of £5,000 per year, a colossal sum in the mid 19th century. This agreement secured the rights to local mineral deposits leading to the proclamation of the Thames Goldfield on 1 August. The leasing of the land for such a huge income was a source of great envy by other Maori iwi and hapu.[5] Grahamstown was founded the following year at the northern end of present Thames, approximately one mile from Shortland. The two towns merged in 1874 after it emerged the heart of the Goldfield was in Grahamstown. Shortland waned in importance until the turn of the century when the Hauraki Plains were developed for farming and the Shortland railway station was opened.
