I just inherited a large coin and bill collection (posted on my page) but there are a couple I'm trying to identify. If anyone is able to help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I’ve probably got extra bits, however a lbs for $9 I’ll take any day.
I'm trying to get a coin from every country, however Micronesia is giving me trouble. They use the US dollar now and I can't find any previous coinage that was legal tender AND has the name on it. They don't mint collecter coins like many other countries, and the only ones I can find are all fantasy, like the one pictured. They have an ancient stone currency called rai stones, but they are incredibly rare, expensive, and illegal to export. I seem to have hit a wall here and am looking for advice. Should I just bite the bullet and get a fantasy coin, or is there like some obscure colonial coinage that I'm unaware of? Thanks!
