New Zealand's fifth series polymer notes, introduced from 2015 onward, were printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company in Ottawa — a long-standing arrangement that has supplied New Zealand's higher denominations since the polymer transition. The $100 sits at the top of the circulating series and consequently sees lower everyday turnover than the $50, meaning used examples in genuinely worn condition are less common than with smaller denominations.
The transparent window on this issue incorporates a laser-fern element unique to New Zealand's series, a deliberate nod to national identity worked into the security architecture rather than applied as an afterthought.
