On Santa Cruz Island in Papua New Guinea, the most favored currencies are not the US dollar and the British pound, nor the Australian dollar and the kina (Papua New Guinea currency), and even other residents use the beautiful bird growing on the island-because A "feather currency" requires about 300 feathers of rust-eyed birds to be completed, so "feather currency" is a kind of local treasure. On the island, the US dollar, British pound, Australian dollar, etc. often fluctuate, but the price of "feather currency" is extremely stable. Therefore, people often show off their wealth by keeping this "feather currency". The name of the feather coin FTC is therefore derived.
