Stick it in the draw until your next trip out of NZ then swap it for the local currency as needed.
That is what we do. I have a drawer full of Singapore $, Hong Kong $, Euros and a few other currencies. Nothing too special but it can be handy when you land at the airport.

Thanks. You know what, I think you've hit the nail on the head. It seems like the most practical course of action given the circumstances. Let the dollars take a little vacation in the drawer till their next overseas trip.
It seems they were getting little jealous while their siblings are hard at work in the bank, earning a sweet 4.45% p.a. for a 60d term deposit. Guess it's time to let them know not all dollars are born to yield, some are meant for adventures!
