Yap Islands

I am from the Island of Yap, it is an island in the Western Caroline Islands in the Pacific 9 degrees North and a 138 degrees East. The picture on top is a picture of my island I found on the web. It is the smallest island of the   island nation in the Federated States of Micronesia. It is also known as the most traditionally cultured islands, whereas, we have our own currency. It is not the usual kind of dollar bill or coin you will see anywhere, hence the picture on the bottom. It is called Stone Money, although the usual currencies around the world are used to buy things, this type is used to buy freedom or buy allies or even people our getting people out of trouble. It is made out of limestone and was quarried from the neighboring
islands of the Republic of Palau. The stone currencies can rise from 1ft to 12ft tall. The largest of them all is left lying on the ground because it can not stand, due to it's heaviness. I wanted to post information about my  island so that people can know more about the Micronesian islands and the different people from there.
