Cook Islands
3 articlesThe Cook Islands are a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand whose principal currency is the New Zealand dollar (NZD). New Zealand supplies the main banknotes and monetary-policy framework, while local Cook Islands notes and coins have a limited role at parity and do not form a separate ISO 4217 currency. The entry distinguishes this free-association monetary setting from New Zealand’s country profile and from an independently issued national currency.
