The Republic of Palau is an island country in the western Pacific, in free association with the United States. In one way or another, the country has been under US administration since it was established, and has never had its own separate currency - it has always used the US Dollar. However, Palau allows some foreign mints to issue coins under its authority; these are denominated in US Dollars but are only legal tender in Palau, so can in a way be considered to be in "Palau Dollars", even though such a currency does not officially exist. The coins are usually dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to the country itself. Some of them are in the large half kilogram (500g) of silver format. This coin is the part of the specially shaped Skulls collection by CIT. The Mint says about it: A set of branded cotton gloves for handling this behemoth is included. | ||||||
