Mint in Rarotonga?

[dicker]

Hi All

Flying from Sydney to LA and spending a couple of days in Rarotonga (Cook Islands).  

Does anyone know if there is a mint outlet there for precious metal coins?  I have head that there is a place for special Cook island stamps, but that’s not my bag!

Many thanks

The Cook Islands have their own currency and use it in tandem with the New Zealand dollar. I don't think the Cook Island $ is recognised outside the Cook Islands so be careful leaving the islands with any as you may not be able to exchange it. 

I believe their coins are produced by either the Royal Australian Mint or the NZ Mint.

Just to confirm that there is nowhere I have found in the last few weeks to buy Bullion or gold/silver coins in the Cook Islands.
