| Additional information |
The Pindá is a traditional Guaraní fish trap from South America — its appearance on a Cook Islands dollar reflects the island nation's well-documented practice of licensing its minting authority to produce themed collectibles with no organic connection to Cook Islands culture or history. These pieces are struck for the souvenir and novelty collector market, not for circulation.
