The Minim Gaferut issues of 2007 are novelty non-circulating pieces produced for the collector market, not legal tender in any practical sense despite the FSM attribution. Wooden coins of this type were manufactured by a small number of specialty minting operations in Europe catering to the fantasy currency trade. Gaferut itself is an uninhabited atoll in the Caroline Islands, which lends the denomination an appropriately fictional character.
