| Additional information |
Palau's wildlife coin program, running through the mid-2000s and into the 2010s, was largely produced by the BH Mayer Mint in Germany under licensing arrangements — a common structure for Pacific island nations whose own minting infrastructure is nonexistent. The series sold almost entirely to the collector market; none of these pieces ever circulated in Palau, where the U.S. dollar functions as the de facto currency.
