sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/04/2013 04:03 am Wireman09: This coin is known almost universally in Australia as the 'Doodle Dollar'. I am not sure that good 'ole Queen Bess the Second would have been all that happy, with her image depicted on the other side! James Berry, who designed a lot of early decimal New Zealand, also designed this one as well as other reverses of the Cook Islands. See "JB" behind the god's feet. This coin would not have been offensive at all in the Cook Islands. That image is one of their gods. Report this Post to the Staff
wireman09 Pillar of the Community Canada 972 Posts	Posted 02/04/2013 05:02 am @sel-691...Thanks for the info about the dollar. I never knew anything about the dollar. A friend of mine went on a vacation to the Cook Islands back in the late 1970's and he brought it back and gave it to me. He knew I was a avid coin collector and he thought I would get a kick out of it. I have had it for over 30 years. Don't want to insult anyone's god, but I have always thought it was a ugly coin. Don't know if that's a fish under his belly but for the last 30 years that not what I thought it was. Thought I better post a pic of the obverse also so the moderators would see it was a real coin.

RogerD Valued Member Canada 491 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 7:13 pm Broseph that Cook coin reminds me of the name "Louisiana wiggler"! IT makes me wonder if this is the reason why it is a Fishermans God. Report this Post to the Staff

rusty_f Valued Member Canada 109 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 10:17 am This is the funniest thing I've seen on the board! I'm on a break at work reading this thread while trying to keep from splitting my sides laughing in front of my co-workers. It's not really working and I'm sure I look ridiculous!

Demarco Bishopp Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 548 Posts	Posted 04/10/2013 12:40 pm You would think if you were an ugly king you would demand that coins be made to a romantic ideal rather than as a true depiction. Oh well, to each his own. Report this Post to the Staff
