| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative dollar pieces under licensing arrangements that have little to do with actual Cook Islands monetary policy — these are collector products manufactured for the international novelty market, typically through the New Zealand-based issuer network. Struck in copper with gold plating rather than solid gold, the .999 designation refers to the plating purity, a distinction that catches out buyers who misread the specification.
