Feather money coils consist of several tens of thousands of feathers glued together like roof tiles. The coils were used as a bride price in the case of marriages, everyday transactions, or for the acquisition of specific goods, such as boats. The coils were not only considered to be currency by the residents of the Santa Cruz Islands, but also the neighbouring groups of the offshore reef islands.
