200 Dollars Christmas Island

Christmas Island — properly Kiritimati — is the world's largest coral atoll by land area and sits within the Line Islands group administered by Kiribati. The year 2000 made it briefly famous for a reason entirely unrelated to coinage: as the first inhabited place on Earth to welcome the new millennium, owing to a deliberate 1995 boundary shift that moved the International Date Line eastward to keep all of Kiribati within a single time zone. That administrative redrawing turned a remote atoll into a global media spectacle, and this issue exists directly because of it.
