Some real stone money; large denomination?

On our surface interval each day, Charlie, our boat captain & dive guide.
brought out "stone money" to eat!
No, not limestone, but scones.
That, watermelon and lots of water kept us energized for the second dive.

Charlie said the smaller pieces are more valued . . .

Smaller stone money & carved birds guarding it
[A pair of these would look GREAT in our yard! --ad]
