The coins of the Marshall Islands, in Micronesia in the southern Pacific Ocean, include dozens and dozens of different commemorative coins. For regular circulation, the Marshall Islands use United States dollars and cents, so any coins from the Marshall Islands being bought and sold in the marketplace (and there are many) are meant for collectors and international buyers or investors.
Like other Oceanian islands, the Marshall Islands have pursued a busy and dynamic collectors’ coin program; unlike many other issuers, they have not always courted the gold and silver buyers market — many of the lower denominations of collectible Marshallese coins are in fact brass or another non-precious metal. Coins with a face value of $20 or more, however, are generally silver or gold.

Denominations of Marshall Islands coins
Dollar coins: 1/2, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 200
Note that the half dollar coin is just that — “HALF DOLLAR” and not “fifty cents”. Although Marshall Islands coins tend to be somewhat conservative — lacking the full-color, 3-D design, or oddly-shaped features of other countries — there are so many, with such a range of subjects, that there are a few to appeal to every collector.
