46. Rai, or stone money, are large,
circular stone disks carved out of
limestone formed from aragonite and
calcite crystals. Rai stones were
mined in Palau and transported for
use to the island of Yap, Micronesia.
They have been used in trade by the
locals and are described by some
observers as a form of currency.

54. The extrinsic (perceived) value
of a specific stone is based not
only on its size and
craftsmanship but also on the
history of the stone. If many
people—or no one at all—died
when the specific stone was
transported, or a famous sailor
brought it in, the value of the rai
stone increases.
55. Rai stones were and still
are used in rare, important
social transactions such as
marriage, inheritance,
political deals, sign of an
alliance, ransom of the
battle dead or, rarely, in
exchange for food.
