91S: Currency equivalent notices

You could also call this:

"The Government tells us how much money 'francs' are worth in New Zealand dollars"

The Minister of Finance can tell everyone how much money is equal to the 'francs' mentioned in Article 22 of the Warsaw Convention. This helps people understand how much money is being talked about in that law. The Minister does this by putting a notice in the Gazette, which is like a special government newspaper.

There's already a notice called the Carriage by Air (New Zealand Currency Equivalents) Notice (No 2) 1998 that does this job. It will keep working until the Minister makes a new notice to replace it.

This rule is part of the Civil Aviation Act 1990 and helps make sure everyone knows how much money is being referred to in an important international agreement about air travel.
