Collector coins

The Pelinese government mints multiple kinds of special coins for collectors, investors, and other individuals, including proof coins, bullion coins, and commemorative coins.

Proof coins of normal circulating Pelinese coins, particularly the 50 hanabira and 1 hana coins, are minted on a regular basis and sold by mail or online order through the Pelinese National Mint. Proof coins from Pelinai use a mirror field cameo finish and 40% silver alloy instead of the normal composition. Commemorative coin designs used in circulating coinage also commonly remain available in proof form after the end of their standard production runs.

Pelinese bullion coins primarily belong to the sakura design pattern, along with limited special runs of commemorative designs; they are normally available in silver, gold, platinum, and palladium, along with rhodium. Unlike most other gold bullion coins, Pelinese gold coins in particular are customarily made from Au-25Cu rose gold and are ordered by total gold mass instead of coin mass.

Banknotes

Banknotes are the most commonly used form of physical currency in Pelinai, comprising approximately 98% of the Pelinese physical currency supply. Currently printed denominations of Pelinese banknotes include ◎5, ◎10, ◎20, ◎50, ◎100, ◎500, and ◎1000; denominations greater than ◎100 are rare and largely reserved for use by the Pelinese government and financial institutions.

Commodity certificates

In order to provide a practical tool to settle international payments and other transactions without the usage of a common reserve currency, the Pelinese hana possesses a limited supply of commodity-backed certificates. These are normally backed by gold bullion, but silver-denominated certificates also exist.
