Stone Money

I always thought that I would have to go to Yap to see stone money. However, one of those large stone coins has been in residence in Hibiya Park since 1925!

The Planet Money blog on NPR has a great podcast regarding "the island of stone money". This American Life also has a great episode on the The Invention of Money.
