Pitcairn Islands coinage is struck under license and never circulates on the island itself — the community of roughly fifty inhabitants uses the New Zealand dollar for daily transactions. These issues exist entirely for the collector market, produced by the Pobjoy Mint or similar contracted facilities and sold through philatelic and numismatic channels.
The Tigger licensing rights fall under the Disney umbrella, which acquired A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh properties through its 1996 purchase of the characters' commercial rights from the Slesinger family — a transaction that generated litigation lasting over a decade.
