The 'COINS' on the Yap Island are much bigger and circulate.
This item while having a denomination, was never meant to circulate.

I believe that the Yap coins don't circulate in the normal sense. They
generally stay put while the owner changes.

Rather like the vast amount of electronic money actually in
circulation...it's all just electrons. Physical money doesn't actually
move -- just the owner changes.
