I am the currency of a country that is home to the world's largest active volcano, Mauna Loa, and boasts a unique ecosystem with many endemic species. I am also associated with a state that was once an independent kingdom with a rich Polynesian culture and is now known for its beautiful beaches and surfing.
- My currency is one of only two currencies in the world that is printed and used in only one country.
- My name comes from a word meaning 'silver' in Spanish.
- My coins and banknotes often feature portraits of the monarchy, such as Queen Liliuokalani.
- My currency is managed by the Central Bank of my state.
