Papua New Guinea uses the Papua New Guinean kina, written as PGK. It has been the official currency since 1975 after independence. Banknotes feature national leaders, cultural symbols, and local wildlife. Cash is widely used, though cards are accepted in cities like Port Moresby and Lae. Coins are used for smaller transactions. The kina’s value can fluctuate with economic conditions. The Papua New Guinean kina reflects the country’s independence and cultural heritage.
