The Papua New Guinean kina is the official currency of Papua New Guinea, issued by the Bank of Papua New Guinea. It is denoted by the symbol K and is divided into 100 sub‑units called toea.

Introduced in 1975 to replace the Australian dollar, the kina features banknotes and coins that showcase the country's diverse wildlife, cultural heritage, and notable figures. The currency is widely used in everyday transactions and reflects the multilingual nature of the nation, where English, Tok Pisin and Hiri Motu are official languages.
