Great Inagua is home to one of the largest flamingo colonies in the Western Hemisphere and to Morton Salt's operation — one of the oldest continuously working solar saltworks in the Americas, dating to the 1930s. The island is also the third-largest in the Bahamas yet holds fewer than a thousand permanent residents. Bahamian dollar coinage has consistently used the islands' distinct geography and wildlife as identifying subjects, a policy maintained since the country's first decimal issues in 1966.
