    Nice car, nice token. I have a hard time with these and the Somali motorcycles and guitars being called coins versus token, but they're neat none the less.

    I don't know about being the first Palau coin with working headlights, I've seen quite a few of their coins with the high-beams enabled already image

  • Tried to save the trees
    Bought a plastic bag
    The bottom fell out
    It was a piece of crap

    Saw it on the tube
    Bought it on the phone
    Now you're home alone
    It's a piece of crap

    I tried to plug in it
    I tried to turn it on
    When I got it home
    It was a piece of crap

    Got it from a friend
    On him you can depend
    I found out in the end
    It was a piece of crap

    I'm trying to save the trees
    I saw it on TV
    They cut the forest down
    To build a piece of crap

    I went back to the store
    They gave me four more
    The guy told me at the door
    It's a piece of crap

    I like the guitar and motorcycle shaped coins from Samoli Republic better.

    How are you going to press the logo to make the lights light up when it's in the slab?
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I love that Neil Young song. So true much of the time.

    You don't like them.

    Other people do.

    What's the problem??
  • Cool novelty gift for the 'hard to buy for' corvette enthusiast who has everything though!

    the problem to you is that we get to voice our opinion.
    it sucks.

    Wonder if it loses it's legal tender designation if the battery goes dead?

    Where on the coin does it say "Republic of Palau"? More importantly, where is the topless mermaid on the reverse?
