General Until 18 April 1975, the Australian dollar (AUD) was the sole legal tender. On 19 April 1975, the kina (PGK) was introduced as the country's own currency at a rate of PGK 1 = AUD 1; the Australian dollar remained legal tender alongside the kina until 31 December 1975. Thereafter, the exchange rates for the kina and the Australian dollar were as follows: until 24 July 1976: PGK 1 = AUD 1; from 25 July 1976: PGK 1 = AUD 1.05; from 29 November 1976: PGK 1 = AUD 1.1812.
