    Nice, we like 'em too... :thumb:

    Some Bahamian proofs have Thalia Elizabeth's favorite monarch on them, and they're most definitely in our collection.

    Steve,those are nice.Did you know that the Bahamas are the only country (in both the British Commonwealth & the whole world!) that has ever issued a 15c. coin? I have a couple of the 15c. coins,which I am keeping.

    Jamaican coins are also very tough to find out over here in New Zealand.

    tdec1000 Coin Rich, Money Poor :D

    I don't believe the US has issued a 15 cent coin either

    Tdec1000,no country apart from the Bahamas has ever had a 15c. coin,which is extremely unusual.The same story applies to the Chatham Islands,which issued an $8 banknote back in 2001.

    Steve,the Bahamas has been issuing 50c. banknotes in recent years,along with the $3 banknote.I haven't got either of these very unusual denominations represented at all yet.
