the man (?) pictured on the kronur is an icelandic interpretation of what jimi hendrix may have looked like.
the cook islands one is a naked chick riding a shark. there was definitely a meeting of the cook islands mint directors. it went like this:
“so we’re going with james cook again this year right?”
“actually, tom, i was thinking we might try something new. now hear me out. it’s a naked chick - riding a shark.”
“… you can’t have a picture of a naked chick riding a shark on money.”
“why not? why the fuck not?”
“you know… you’re right. why the fuck not?”
“straight up, i don’t even know where our country is, or if it is even a country at all.”
