The Maui Trade Dollar program was created in 1992 to raise funds for the non-profit Maui Chamber of Commerce Foundation. The Maui Trade Dollar is a "silver" clad-cupronickel coin about the size of a traditional United States silver dollar. They are a commonly sought after collector's item, often exchanged or traded in order to complete the sets dating from the 1992 issue. Each year a new design is created with emphasis on Maui's unique wildlife. As of 2008, the coins sold for $3.00 a piece and could be bought from the Maui Chamber of Commerce's website.[1]

An earlier series of Maui dollars was issued in the 1970s by the Maui Chamber of Commerce in a similar size, although thinner and made of copper. On this coin the words "Lahaina First Capital" are seen. One such coin is dated 1976. These coins were issued as part of a series that also included Kona Dollars, Honolulu Dollars, Kauai Dollars, and possibly others.
