Papua New Guinea issues a recurring series of coins honoring neighboring nations and their currencies, largely aimed at the collector market rather than circulation. The "1 Dollar Indonesia" denomination is a nominal fiction — it carries no legal tender equivalence in Indonesia and circulates nowhere.
