The currency of Papua New Guinea, a resource-rich Pacific nation.
The Papua New Guinean kina (PGK) is the money of Papua New Guinea, just north of Australia. The name comes from a shell once used as traditional currency. The country exports gas, gold and copper, so the kina leans on commodity prices, and it is tightly managed and thinly traded.
