Separated from southeastern Africa by the Mozambique Channel as the world's fourth-largest island and a global hotspot of endemic biodiversity governed from its highland capital of Antananarivo, Madagascar historically weighed cut silver 5-franc coins using traditional rice-grain scales. In 2005, the Central Bank of Madagascar fully replaced the Malagasy franc with the non-decimal Malagasy ariary (MGA), subdivided into 5 iraimbilanja, striking polygonal coins with zebu cattle, baobabs, and rice farmers.
