Some Facts about Tuvalu

A country with coral atolls and islands in the South Pacific Ocean, TUVALU is situated north of Fiji and Wallis and Futuna (belongs to France), south of the Gilbert Islands in Kiribati, east of the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, and west of Tokelau (island belonging to New Zealand). Funafuti is the capital and located on a coral atoll, particularly on the islet of Fongafale. Tuvalu produces special stamps and commemorative coins of various metals. These are bought by stamp collectors (philatelists) and coin collectors (numismatists). The collectors are essentially providing a needed source of revenue for the impoverished country.
