Interesting fact
The Hog Fish coin from Palau is a unique and interesting coin due to its shape. Instead of being a traditional circular shape, this coin is shaped like a hogfish, a species of fish found in the waters of Palau. The coin's shape is designed to resemble the fish's body, with a curved outline and a distinctive snout. This unique shape makes the coin stand out from other coins and adds to its collectibility.
