I noticed this on tfw2005 and they said it was legal tender.
But here's the small print - just because its Perth mint doesn't mean our country I don't think. It's the "Government of Tuvalu", which I've never heard of. I guess it must be in the Commonwealth, but Wikipedia says its a Polynesian island?

The "Government of Tuvalu" thing has turned me right off these WTF
Geography
Tuvalu consists of nine small islands scattered over 500,000 sq mi of the western Pacific, just south of the equator. The islands include Niulakita, Nukulaelae, Funafuti, Nukufetau, Vaitupu, Nui, Niutao, Nanumaga (Nanumanga), and Nanumea.
Government
Constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy.
History
Formerly the Ellice Islands, Tuvalu's first Polynesian settlers were probably Samoans or Tongans. The Ellice Islands became a British protectorate in 1892 and were annexed by Britain in 1915–1916 as part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony. The Ellice Islands were separated from the Gilberts in 1975, given home rule, and renamed Tuvalu. Full independence was granted on Sept. 30, 1978, but Tuvalu remained part of the Commonwealth. In 1979, the U.S. gave Tuvalu four islands that had been U.S. territory.
