In Yap, a Pacific Island nation, they traditionally use large stone discs called Rai stones as a form of money. These stones, made of limestone, were quarried on different islands and transported to Yap for use in trade and important transactions. The value of a Rai stone is determined by its size, history, and the effort required to obtain it.
