Hi guys, Do you know how to buy from PALAU / COOK ISLAND / NIUE mints directly??? or who is a legal seller? and Where to find forthcoming releases from these mints? :|
i've got some 25 Dollar Cook island Extra Large silver coins, I have to say they really nice numismatics!
Wasn't the Macquarie mint making Niue coins? They are a branch of downies so I have been lead to believe.
I dont think that these countries even have their own mints. Private companies mint them ie. Pobjoy Mint and others
"For memory, these are dealt with by the New Zealand Mint..." Correction to above ^^^ Cook Islands coins... Royal Australian Mint & Franklin Mint in the US. Palau... Minted mostly in various US Mints. Niue... New Zealand Mint reports... "Back in 2008, a contract between Niue and the Mint was signed to allow the production of the coins on behalf of the small country of Niue".
I thought I saw something on the RAM site about them minting Cook Islands coins. Ask RAM, they'd know.
Perth mint does some cook island coins too the rectangle dragons are cook islands if I'm not mistaken
i picked one up a cook island coin from a second hand shop this year, but its pretty worn. though do have a tiny JFK gold coin from Niue. its only 1.5gr or so, but got it thinking someone down the track will want a jfk momento.ha
