Pitcairn Islands Coins
The Pitcairn Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific, have a unique numismatic history. Although small in population, the Pitcairns have issued their own coins and used different currencies throughout their history.
Current currency and monetary system
Currently, the Pitcairn Islands use the New Zealand dollar (NZD) as their official currency. However, they also issue their own commemorative coins in Pitcairn dollars, which are legal tender in the islands but are mainly for collectors. These coins often feature themes related to the history and culture of the islands, such as local wildlife or historical events like the mutiny of the HMS Bounty.
Monetary history and relevant facts
Prior to adopting the New Zealand dollar, the Pitcairn Islands used the British pound sterling until 1967. An important milestone in their numismatics was the issue of their first coin of their own in 1988, a commemorative piece of 250 Pitcairn dollars in gold. Since then, they have released numerous series of coins, including a millennium collection in 2000 and a series dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the settlement in 2090. These issues have made Pitcairn coins coveted by collectors around the world.
