Antique engraved illustration of money cowry. Vintage illustration of Monetaria moneta. Old engraved picture. Book illustration published 1907. Monetaria moneta, common name the money cowry, 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. It is a quite small cowry, up to 3 cm (1.2 in) and weighing roughly 0.04 oz (1.1 g), irregular and flattened, with very calloused edges and roughly subhexagonal. The color is pale (from white to dirty beige), but the dorsum seems transparent, often greenish grey with yellowish margins, with sometimes darker transverse stripes and a delicate yellow ring. The opening is wide and white, with pronounced denticules. The mantle of the live animal is mottled with black and off-white. The shell of Monetaria moneta varies widely in shape and color, with some of these varieties having been described as full species. As a result, this species has numerous taxonomic synonyms.
