This topic contains an overview of the official modern collectors coins that are being issued by the Pitcairn Islands in recent years. The real coins are denominated in 'dollars'. Tower Mint also manufactures pieces for the Pitcairn Islands denominated in pounds, but these are not legal tender. Under the laws of the Pitcairn Islands, the local government can only issue legal tender coins that are denominated in dollars. The islands have no right to issue pound-denominated coins.
