What Currency is used in Rarotonga

Cook Islands Cash | Frommer's

Despite the fact that the country's indigenous authorities mint some uncommon currencies and a $3 bill, the New Zealand greenback is the currency of trade in the Cook Islands. As of the date of this letter, a New Zealand Dollars is about 80¢/40p. Exchanges fluctuate, so look at the divisions of most dailies or find the current rates on currency translation web sites such as www.xe.com.

In this letter, US$1/C$1 = approximately NZ$1.25 (or, conversely, NZ$1 = US80¢), that is the currency quote I used to convert the dollars given in this text. At this letter, 1 = about NZ$2.50 (or, NZ$1 = 40p), the rates used to compute the pounds vale.

Please note: Global currency parities vary widely on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, the figures in this chart may not be the same when you visit the Cook Islands. You can find the latest tariffs at www.xe.com. The Westpac Bank, ANZ Bank and the Bank of the Cook Islands have branches just West of the roundabout on the Avarua Avenue.

Opening times are Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 15.00 (16.00 at ANZ Bank). In Mana Court, just westwards of the district (tel. 29-907), GlobalEX/Western Union changes currency and travellers cheques, often at better tariffs than the bank. On Rarotonga and Aitutaki, American Express, MasterCard and Visa are widely used.

When you travel to Aitutaki or another remote isle, you can use your card in the major cities and some places, but not everywhere. Therefore, you should bring small denominations of currency or traveller's cheques with you. Before you plan your journey, please make sure that you discuss all prices and detail directly with the respective company.
