Whether you're hitting the streets of Auckland or surfing in Raglan, knowing the local dosh dialect is key to blending in and managing your pūtea (money) like a true Kiwi.

Cash, Coin, and Kudos - Speak the Money Language of Aotearoa

New Zealand's rich tapestry of lingo doesn't stop at the usual 'bro' and 'cheers'. When it comes to currency, Kiwis have a unique way of spinning yarns (telling stories). Let's break down some of the top cash slang you'll encounter in the Land of the Long White Cloud:

• Dosh - Got enough dosh for a flat white? This term refers to money in general, so when someone's asking if you've got the dosh, it's all about whether you've got the cash to splash.

• Folding - No, we're not talking laundry. 'Folding' is slang for paper money. If you've got folding in your wallet, it means you’re not just jingling coins.

• Spondoolicks - This fun phrase is another way Kiwis might refer to their cash. “Can I borrow a few spondoolicks?” is sure to get a smile at the local fish and chip shop.

• Hard Yakka - This one is more about earning than spending. Hard yakka means hard work, and in NZ, that hard work pays off in cold, hard cash.

• Bucks - Much like our American friends, New Zealanders sometimes call their dollars 'bucks'. So if something costs "twenty bucks," you'll need a 20-dollar note.
