MULTI-COLOR COINS

Made strictly for collectors, these color coins are pretty, fun and very popular.

NOW YOU CAN OWN A FERRARI!

Ferrari dollar coin from the Cook IslandsWell, maybe not the car, but an officially licensed multi-color 1 Dollar coin from the Cook Islands featuring the Ferrari F2008 race car.  The attractive 38.6 mm silver-plated coin features a multi-color image of a red Ferrari racing on one side, and Queen Elizabeth on the other.  The coin comes in a descriptive folder that gives detailed specifications of the car.   The undated coin has a mintage of only 5000 pieces.  As far as I can figure, the only connection between the car and the Cook Islands is that there are none in the Cook Islands.  Anyway, I am sure the coin will be popular.  The coins theme, attractive design, and packaging make it a great gift for auto and racing enthusiasts.
