[QUOTE="Tre, post: 35857, member: 1219"]A well-intentioned eBay seller accidently sent me a shipment of Hawai'ian coins. I was permitted to keep them in return for referring to him as a "well-intentioned eBay seller." And yet I still have little idea of what they [I]are.[/I] I have a replica of a coin minted by the Republic of Hawaii, but that's labeled as such. (A pity, a genuine version in this condition could catch a good amount of money) The other two are similar in color to the US dollar coin, but the size of a US silver dollar. One is a "Kona Dollar" dated 1982, with Kona Coast Chamber of Commerce on the opposite side. The second is only slightly larger than the first, inscribed as a "Maui Dollar" and Lahaina First Capital. The opposite side states "MAUI NO KA OI" and "THE VALLEY ISLE" with the Iao Needle on it. There does not appear to be a date on this one. Internet searches didn't turn up much useful information about these two, so I'm hoping somebody here is familiar with these.[/QUOTE]
