March 18 (UPI) -- A British Columbia student was awarded a Guinness World Record after finding the largest sand dollar in the world on a Mexican beach.

Coldwater resident Neko Wong, a fourth grader at Beairsto Elementary School, said she found the sand dollar, which is larger than her head, on a beach in El Sargenta.


Wong's family submitted the required paperwork to Guinness World Records, which issued the girl a certificate.


The exact measurements of Wong's sand dollar were unclear, but the previous record holder measured about 6 inches in diameter.
