<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ahearn, post: 582785, member: 18211&quot;]Ummm. More pirate coins, you say. I&#039;m interested. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I found a picture of one, and it was quite attractive. Do you (or anyone) know if the colorization is as nice as the Perth Mint coins, or maybe just a paper sticker?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>EDIT: </p><p>I think I found the answer to my question. Here&#039;s what I found in an article regarding Cuban coins:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Cuba has joined many other countries in enameling coins; they feature dolphins, groupers, rays, swordfishes and others that are found in the Caribbean, along with pelicans, ducks, butterflies, and flamingoes that are found in Cuba. They also started a series of enameled famous aircraft; so far we have only the Albatross — a German aircraft from WW I. <b>They have a series of coins minted in England and dealing with famous pirates of the Caribbean. A photo is printed on paper, then affixed to the reverse. These appear on the 1, 10, and 50 peso pieces</b>.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
