Cook Islands Banknotes

The Cook Islands have seventeen thousand inhabitants spread across fifteen islands in the Pacific, and they issue their own banknotes. One of them, the 3-dollar note, is one of the very few banknotes of that denomination in the world.

Ina and the shark

The 3-dollar note features Ina, a figure from Polynesian mythology, riding a shark. It is one of the most unusual images in world paper money, and the reason why this banknote is collected at a value well above its face value.

An almost closed issuer

The Cook Islands use the New Zealand dollar for day-to-day transactions today, and their own issues are scarce and old. This makes them a practically closed set.
