In 2008, Palau issued a collector one-dollar coin with a small glass insert. The issue’s description identifies its contents as water from the Lourdes spring in France. The coin portrays Our Lady of Lourdes, linking a religious theme with a material souvenir of the pilgrimage site. [1, 2]

This is a commemorative collector issue rather than typical everyday small change. Water is an inclusion in the object’s construction, not the material of the whole coin. Its origin is reported as an issue characteristic, without claims of healing properties. [1, 2]
