10 Dollars - Elizabeth II The American Big Boy

The "American Big Boy" belongs to a Cook Islands series celebrating iconic American roadside landmarks — a licensing exercise that produced legally issued Pacific coinage bearing the trademarked mascot of the Frisch's/Bob's Big Boy restaurant chain. Cook Islands has long served as a vehicle for novelty commemorative programs, with New Zealand managing its currency affairs while the islands' issuing authority generates revenue almost entirely through collector releases rather than circulating coinage. This piece never saw a cash register on Rarotonga.
