RE: 2nd in the Series Lunar Coins from Palau................ Very Unusual Lunar Skull

in #silver7 years ago (edited)

These skull coins are sweet. I prefer to call them rounds rather than coins. Even though these "coins" have a $5 denomination, they are not legal tender in Palau because Palau uses the US dollar as it's currency.

You have a point there. I have not as of yet seen or heard anything about a Rooster Skull as of yet..................

Yeah I was wondering about that as well. Another thing to note is that the Goat was issued for Ghana while the Monkey was issued for Palau. I doubt the governments of these nations commissioned these coins. It seems any private mint can stamp the name of a Third World nation onto a round to call it a "coin." That seems to be the case for most "non-circulating legal tender" coins
