Mogethin and welcome to the Island of Stone Money.

@yapesehut

Yap or Wa′ab (Yapese: Waqab) is an island in the Caroline Islands of the western Pacific Ocean. It is considered to be made up of four separate islands: Yap Island proper (MarbaQ),Tomil/Gagil, Maap, and Rumung. The three are contiguous though separated by water and are surrounded by a common coral reef. Yap's indigenous cultures and traditions are strong compared to other states in Micronesia.Yap is known for its stone money, known as Rai: large doughnut-shaped, carved disks of (usually) calcite, up to 4 m (12 ft) in diameter (most are much smaller).

STONE MONEY of YAP

Rai, or stone money (Yapese: raay), are large, circular stone disks carved out of limestone formed from aragonite and calcite crystals.Rai stones were quarried on several of the Micronesian islands, mainly Palau, but briefly on Guam as well, and transported for use as money to the island of Yap. They have been used in trade by the Yapese as a form of currency.

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
