I've heard that the Cook Islands has issued a $1 denomination coin that
depicts Elvis Presley. The date of the coin is 2004. If anyone has a
2005
catalog or later could confirm this and maybe get the Krause number for
me,
it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Considering the odd mix of topics commemorated on Cook Islands coinage
(Oregon Trail, Ghenghis Khan, Garfield, the Pope, and the
anatomically-correct fertility god Tangaroa) one would certainly expect to
see Elvis among them. But a careful examination of my 2006 catalog shows
oodles of coins with the Queen, but, alas, none showing the King. I note,
though, there are few items listed that bear a date after 2001. I wonder
if they are behind in their listings. It would not be surprising, as poor
Fred Borgmann is always inundated with NCLT material and does what he can
to keep up with it. The 2007 cat should be out soon, and I'll check that
when I get it (if I can remember, that is).
