<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 1084527, member: 39"]Makes sense indeed - after all, those islands have practically had the US dollar for a long time: Both the Aruban florin and the Netherlands Antilles gulden were pegged to the USD at a fixed rate. For the three small islands it may be too costly to issue their own money, so instead of having their local versions of the US dollar, they simply adopt the real thing. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That commemorative piece is a little odd indeed.

Right, not legal tender anywhere. Also, I wonder what this (from the KNM website) actually means: "De uitgifte is afgestemd met US-Mint in de Verenigde Staten." So the US Mint agreed to this issue?
