1 Dollar Caretta caretta

Moorea has no independent monetary authority and issues no legal tender of its own — it is a commune of French Polynesia, which itself uses the CFP franc issued by the Institut d'émission d'outre-mer. Any coin attributed to "Moorea" as an issuer is a private fantasy piece, produced outside any governmental mandate and circulating nowhere. These brass dollar pieces were minted for the collector novelty market, typically by private mints exploiting the romantic cachet of island names.
