25 x $2.00 coins are traded at the airport to tourists flying home for $50.00 note...you only buy the $2.00 coins if you need them back in Australia.
Yes the coins are used as a trade to buy bracelets and the like but they are not used to make the bracelets, as Sherbert says you can just negotiate a price for the bracelets without the coins.
