The Stone Money Bank of Yap, also known as the Rai Stone Quarries, is a historical landmark where you can find large disk-shaped stones with a hole in the center, called 'rai.' Rai stones were used as a unique currency in Yap and were considered a symbol of wealth and power. These stones, made from limestone, were quarried in Palau and transported to Yap in large canoes. The Stone Money Bank offers travelers an insight into the ancient economic system of the Yapese people and their remarkable currency.
