Message:: [QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1140683, member: 6229"]2011 Maui, Hawai'i Trade $2 makes its Debut Maui, the second largest of the Great State of Hawaii's Islands has long been a popular haunt in the land of Paradise due to its inviting beaches, tropical scenery and cultural activities. In 1992 Maui's Chamber of Commerce began issuing a yearly Trade Dollar to raise funds for conservational and educational projects on the Island and in its surrounding waters.  Those early Trade Dollars could be used in trade (like a silver Dollar) at participating merchants throughout the island during the year they were issued.  Today those Trade Dollars have a face value of $2.  Each coin measures 39mm (Crown-sized) and is composed of Copper-nickle.  As such, many are not spent, but are kept as souvenirs or become a part of someone's coin collection.  In the past the coins featured Dolphins, Turtles, Parrots, Triggerfish, Whales, 'Tiwi Birds, and other native flora and/or fauna. This year the 2011 Maui Trade Dollar ($2) features a Lion Fish. 2011 MAUI, HAWAI'I TRADE DOLLAR: <img src="http://www.joelscoins.com/images/maui2011r.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Hope you enjoyed this announcement. Clinker[/QUOTE]
