money cowry (Monetaria moneta), is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cypraeidae, the cowries.
This species is called "money cowry" because the shells were historically widely used in many Pacific and Indian Ocean countries as shell money before coinage was in common usage.
the strip is very long
In excellent condition, not used
One shell is missing and there is one small hole (see photos)
Length: 1.94 cm
