Have you ever thought about all those South Sea islands: Nauru, Niue,
Kiribati, Tuvalu, Palau, Tokelau? To mention a few - they seem to go
on and on...

Well, I've discovered you can split them into FOUR categories,
according to which type of currencies they use. So I've done just
that, and listed them ALL, as well as describing whether they're an
independent state, a British dependency, self-governing in free
association with the USA - or whatever.

I've updated the topic to include the recent collector issues of Niue
and the Cook Islands - which are legal tender and look like
circulation sets but don't circulate. And I've listed all the other
polities that have issued ONLY collector coins, and those that have
had UNOFFICIAL issues produced for them: fantasies, pseudo-coins, or
whatever.

And there are images of some of their coins at the end of the topic.
