Travel the world, collecting more holed coins.
This travel bug represents my love for coin collecting as well as the country of Papua New Guinea, where I lived for three years.
The national currency of PNG is the kina ("key-na"), which is broken up into 100 toea ("toy-a"). Kina and toea are the names of two kinds of shells that were used as currency in the past, and even today in some areas. Shells were often strung up along strings (through small holes) to make them easier to carry. The modern-day 1 kina coin has a hole through the centre to mimic this tradition of stringing shells together.
Other countries also have holed coins, sometimes for the same reason. This travel bug would like to collect holed coins. It is starting off with the following coins:
- 1, 2, and 5 krone coins from Denmark
- seven 1 kina coins from Papua New Guinea
- one 25 peseta coin from Spain
- one coin from China (can anyone tell me more about it?)
Feel free to add or trade coins, and please let me know when you do!
