"JEPILPILIN EJUKAAN". i was wondering how much is it worth?

THANK YOU

Answer
Cora, sorry, thought I'd answered this question. Maybe the Internet froze before it went out (that happened once before to me).  Anyway, I believe that the Republic of Marshall Islands issued "coins" in order to make money.  I don't think they are worth all that much.  However, to check, try going to www.ebay.com and doing a search for Marshall Islands and Moon Coin or the like (try several variations) and see if anyone is selling what you have.  Also try going to www.google.com and do a similar search and see if anything comes up.  Hope this helps, Jim Lawniczak
