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).

and...I know I'm definitely in the wrong business.

Mr. Jaggers

How could I forget Marshall Islands? Their KM-124 is a 1993R (Roger
Williams Mint, Rhode Island, I kid you not) $5 coin showing Elvis.
Catalog
value $5 in prooflike.

Mr. Jaggers

Marshall Island actually has three coins in the 1993 series. A $5, $10,
and
$50 denominations. The $50 are silver. There are three more years also
1995,1996, and 1997, all in the same denominations and materials.

I think I'll suggest to Krause that they publish a Standard Catalog of
Marshall Island Coins. It'd make a fine companion volume to the larger
Standard Catalog of Isle of Man Coins. Just think, this could be the start
of a whole new, lucrative publishing venture for them. Then Liberia, then
Cook Islands, then...etc.
