Visit the little US Post Office in the town of Hoolehua on the Hawaiian island of Molokai and you can mail an entire coconut as is. The US Postal Service informs us that the practice began in 1991 when the then-postmaster came up with the idea as a way to visitors and residents to share with friends around the world an unusual bit of Molokai culture.
The program is called Post-A-Nut. Every year, this post office sends out about 3,000 coconuts, including 700 to addresses outside of the United States. The post office provides the coconuts and decorating materials for free. The customers do have to pay for postage, though, which results in the coconuts becoming covered with stamps.
