Nowadays the stone disks are rarely used in trading, but they do have ceremonial value and symbolic meaning. In fact the people of this island do compar- atively little buying or selling. Most of their business deals are simple transactions of courtesy.

If, for example, a man needs an an animal for a ceremonial least and doesn't happen to have one

who haa and asks for it. Custom decrees that the owner give him the animal. Later the receiver of the animal may go to the owner and present him with a handful of shells. or some other inexpen- sive and apparently useless gift. But this is not to be construed as a payment. for there have been no values set. no bargaining. This kind of taking and giving works both ways, Sooner or lat er the man who got the animal free may be called upon to hand over some possession of his to a member of the community. and he in turn receives some small gift.

This custom of sharing upon request is quite ancient and most unique in that it makes personal possessions available to everyone. Nobody gets rich on this "lend- lease” plan but its a custom that suits the people of Yap perfectly. Chiefs and others of the blue- bloods. to maintain their high prestige have to give more elabor- ate gifts in return for certain favors but the custom in general all over the island. whether a person is rich or poor.

The large stone disks, in most cases. are the property of groups of persons. Some important func- tions may arise when it becomes necessary to present one or more pieces of stone money as a cere- monial token to another village.

Transfers often take place when an influential citizen "shuffles off this mortal coil", the completion

of his own. he goes to a neighbor-

Besides having a token value these stones have a history all their own and a very interesting

history too.

Quarrled in the limestone caves in the Paiaus they were brought to Yap on dramatic sea voyages in sailing canoes at the cost of many lives.
