I have a soft spot for origami paper cranes.
Read or watch about "Sadako Sasaki and the Thousand Paper Cranes".
Spread a little peace and happiness wherever you go :)

I am pretty sure Spitzbergen couldn't issue US dollars.

How is this not Exonumia?

These would likely be Company tokens, with limited usage - Exonumia, rather than banknote additions.

😉 A bit of deja vu there!

I don't think these items should be linked with actual currencies. 

We don't do it for instance for indian tribes N#128049

And maybe move them to exonumia?

And maybe move them to exonumia?

Please make change requests accordingly :-)
