The next state in the alphabet is Georgia. Probably the most famous island was issued on the quarter dollar in 2018 - Cumberland Island. I followed this issue and saw that 9 or 10 options were considered, and in the end option number 6 was chosen: Cumberland Island, 2018, Georgia, 25¢ coin   Edited by Islands Gamer

The next state in the alphabet is Hawaii. It consists of large and small islands. For almost every island, you can find separate numismatics with the name of each island. I tried to collect them all and noticed that probably the most mysterious token, the one that is least known about, is the trade token for the island of Molokai.

Alphabetically, the next state is Idaho. There are various islands there, and one of them shows another rare category of numismatics - Masonic tokens: Three island, Idaho, masonic token  Edited by Islands Gamer

This topic can be fun. For example, the next state in the alphabetical list is Illinois. There are various islands and tokens. But I can't figure out about one island. Or rather, I see this island on the map, but I'm very interested in why they used hard drugs instead of light weed in 2013? )  Northerly Island, Chicago, Illinois, 2013  |

Next in the alphabet is the state of Indiana. I know of tokens from five islands in that state. One island has a particularly interesting history.. Quote:
Bogus Island was a real place, an island within Beaver Lake in Indiana, known for its association with criminals and outlaws. It was a refuge for counterfeiters and horse thieves who used its remote location and surrounding marshland to evade law enforcement. Today, the area is part of the Kankakee Sands prairie restoration area Bogus Island, Indiana, Souvenir Dollar, 1976  |

The next state in order is Kentucky. There are also different islands and tokens. One island is most famous for its tokens, there are about four varieties, but only one series has the full name of the island. This island either existed or didn't exist, it's a complicated story. Quote:
Kettle Island is an unincorporated community and coal town in Bell County, Kentucky, United States. Kettle Island is located on Kentucky Route 1630 near Kentucky Route 221, 5.35 miles (8.61 km) east-northeast of Pineville.The community also had a station on the Louisville and Nashville
There are two possible explanations for the community's name. The first is that early settlers did laundry in a common kettle on an island in Straight Creek. The second is that hunters used an iron kettle on the same island as a landmark Kettle Island, Kentucky, 1$ & 5$ tokens  Edited by Islands Gamer

I hope and expect that people from different states will take part in this game and show off some rare or unique tokens.

And here we can continue the game further. Because Chandeleur Islands are a group of islands. And among them there is one separate Breton Island, and it is also in numismatics, See for yourself: Breton Island, Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, tokens:  There are three different releases known. These two were in 1969 and 1970. And the one above was in 1971. Edited by Islands Gamer
