| Additional information |
The Sydney Harbour Bridge, completed in 1932 after nine years of construction, was financed partly through New South Wales government bonds that took until 1988 — fifty-six years — to fully repay. Cook Islands has issued commemorative silver rounds under its own authority since the 1970s, a practice that generates export revenue while carrying no expectation of domestic circulation.
