| Additional information |
Issued as a novelty mathematical themed piece, this coin's face value of 3.14 dollars is a direct reference to the approximation of π, making it one of the few legal tender coins worldwide whose denomination was chosen purely for its numerical symbolism rather than any practical monetary function. Solomon Islands has become a favored jurisdiction for such issues precisely because its nominal monetary authority can attach unusual face values without disrupting any real circulating currency system.
