Cypraea coin - porcelain grade. It reaches from 10 to 44 mm, typically around 20-25 mm. The most common species of porcelain, occurs in a large area, the population is estimated at hundreds of billions of individuals. Cypraea was used in the past as a payroll - a surrogate of money. The "mint" of this porcelain currency was the Maldives, also known as the "islands of kauri". It is assumed that C. coin as a means of payment was first used in China in the 15th-16th centuries, and in other parts of Asia even as early as the eleventh century. In the 18th century, slaves were bought for slaves, which were later sold in America - this operation brought huge profits to the English and Dutch. In modern times, C. coin is used on a large scale in the souvenir industry - the items made of it are a constant element of stalls and shops in tourist destinations. Kauri also has a small connection with Poland - its shells are used by Polish highlanders to decorate their hats, which are part of their traditional folk costume.

Najpospolitszy gatunek porcelanki, występuje na sporym obszarze, liczebność populacji szacowana jest na setki miliardów osobników. Cypraea moneta używana była w przeszłości jako płacidło - surogat pieniądza. "Mennicą" tej porcelankowej waluty były Malediwy, zwane również "wyspami kauri". Przypuszcza się, że C. moneta w roli środka płatniczego użyto po raz pierwszy w Chinach w XV-XVI wieku, a w innych regionach Azji już nawet w wieku XI. W XVIII wieku za porcelanki kupowano niewolników, których później sprzedawano w Ameryce - proceder ten przynosił ogromne zyski trudniącym się nim Anglikom i Holendrom. W obecnych czasach porcelanki C. moneta używa się na ogromną skalę w przemyśle pamiątkarskim - wytwarzane z niej przedmioty są stałym elementem straganów i sklepów w miejscowościach o charakterze turystycznym. Kauri ma również drobne powiązanie z Polską - jej muszelki są używane przez polskich górali do ozdabiania kapeluszy, wchodzących w skład ich tradycyjnego, ludowego stroju.
