I came across an interesting tidbit today about the Cook Islands. First for those of you who may not know where the Cook Islands are located,they are northeast of New Zealand making them also south of Hawaii. The islands are an independent nation in free association with New Zealand,they make their own laws but keep New Zealand citizenship. Here comes the part I find particularly interesting,they have their own coins and currency in circulation along with New Zealand currency of equal value, though Cook Island currency is not legal tender outside the islands. Their three dollar bill is a popular souvenir as it depicts a naked woman riding a shark. Does that make it funny money?
