Message:: [QUOTE="Drusus, post: 243341, member: 6370"]When I was in college, I worked in the lunchroom with some guys from micronesia...Mitau, Judge, and Smither from the island of Truk and there was also a guy from Yap. He had a T-shirt he wore when he he wasnt working which had a guy sitting up against a large stone coin...I asked about it and thats when I learned about the funky money. They were...odd...They loved beer and pork, they have real basic shaped tattos (a few of them on the face) and they played music together using a guitar with 2 strings (I taped a few songs). Oh....and they LOVED beer.....a lot. I hung out with them (the guys from truk) who all lived in the same house. The guy from Yap lived alone...and was a biker, he also liked beer a lot and had a mac-11 and a bunch of knives and a bad temper...they all acted very strange when drunk, almost scared me. They would do stick dancing on campus here and there...on the whole nice guys...I discovered they are pretty much just like american citizens, they can join the army (one did)...I think they just cant vote or run for office... and that is my experience with the guys from Micronesia... Oh...and one of those stone coins would go for a lot I am sure...they are very rare and the guy from yap said they are protected from leaving the island...[/QUOTE]
