Abstract
- The article focuses on the red-feather money, one of the most exotic kinds of money in the world. The red-feather currency of the Santa Cruz Islands of the southwest Pacific has been described. The currency system is regulated by the availability of the red-feathers and by the output of the hunters and artisans who make the money.
