Bring the mystery of the world’s most remote inhabited island into your collection with this complete set of Easter Island (Rapa Nui) Rongo banknotes. Issued in 2011 by the Pacific Overseas Exchange Office, these stunning polymer notes celebrate the monumental stone architecture and the indigenous people of Isla de Pascua.

• 10,000 Rongo (Deep Indigo): The highest denomination, featuring multiple Moai with their red scoria "pukao" (topknots) and a chieftain in ceremonial dress.
