Hello friends of the Hive community, first, I want you to know that islands are portions of land completely surrounded by water. They can vary in size, from tiny islands barely perched on the surface of the sea to large landmasses like Greenland. Islands can be of volcanic origin, formed by the accumulation of sediment, or be part of a reef system. Furthermore, they can be inhabited or uninhabited, and often have unique ecosystems.
Island currencies are those used on islands or island territories. Often, these currencies can be different from the currency of the country to which they belong, especially if the island has a special political status or a distinct economy.
For example, some islands have their own currency, while others use the currency of the nearest country or a colonial power. There are also cases in which islands issue coins with unique designs that reflect their culture and heritage.
Coins from islands in my country, and perhaps in many others, are difficult to find, either due to their low mintage, or because they don't circulate, or because they are places where there isn't a large influx of people traveling to the mainland.
This type of theme is very interesting in a collection because it's extremely difficult to own one from each island where they were issued. Also, due to their scarcity, they sometimes tend to be expensive and have a high monetary value.
In my case, I live on the Isle of Youth, an island that belongs to Cuba—that is, I live on an island within an island—which is why it's much more difficult for me to acquire this collection. But the true magic of a collector is being able to take on great challenges and feel proud of their achievements.
I would like to share some coins from my collection that I've gradually acquired. Greetings to everyone from my island.

Hola amigos de la comunidad Hive primeramente quiero que conozcan que las islas son porciones de tierra que están completamente rodeadas de agua. Pueden variar en tamaño, desde pequeñas islas que apenas se asoman sobre la superficie del mar, hasta grandes masas de tierra como Groenlandia. Las islas pueden ser de origen volcánico, formarse por la acumulación de sedimentos o ser parte de un sistema de arrecifes. Además, pueden ser habitadas o deshabitadas, y muchas veces tienen ecosistemas únicos.
Las monedas insulares son aquellas que se utilizan en islas o territorios insulares. A menudo, estas monedas pueden ser diferentes de la moneda del país al que pertenecen, especialmente si la isla tiene un estatus político especial o una economía distinta.
Por ejemplo, algunas islas tienen su propia moneda, mientras que otras utilizan la moneda del país más cercano o de una potencia colonial. También hay casos en los que las islas emiten monedas con diseños únicos que reflejan su cultura y patrimonio.
Las monedas de las islas en mi país y quizas en muchos más son difíciles de encontrar, ya sea por sus bajas tiradas, o porque no circulan, o porque son lugares donde no hay mucha fluencia de personas a viajar a los continentes.
Es muy interesante este tipo de temática en una colección, porque es súper difícil lograr tener una de cada isla donde las emitieron. También por su escaces a veces tienden a ser caras y con alto valor monetario.
En mi caso vivo en la Isla de la Juventud, una isla que pertenece a Cuba, es decir vivo en una Isla dentro de otra Isla, por eso me resulta mucho más difícil lograr tener está colección, pero la verdadera magia de un coleccionista es poder tener grandes retos para así sentirse orgulloso de sus logros.
Quisiera compartir algunas monedas de mi colección que poco a poco he logrado tener, saludos a todos desde mi Isla

Quite a wide variety of Island from all over the world. The subject of coin collecting is as wide and numerous as the subjects they feature and celebrate. If you are interested, I know a Hivian Captain who features various islands of all over the world every week.
It's a really broad and interesting topic, since I was born on an island of 84,000 inhabitants, which is why I chose this topic in numismatics. Greetings and thank you very much.
Nice coins! Great background on them too. Great to learn about world coins and see some photos of them.
Hello friend, thank you very much for appreciating the coins and the variety. I will continue posting about this topic, linking it to the coins in my collection. Best regards, and I hope you continue to enjoy my posts.
