Hi, was just wandering if we mint these for the Bahamas.

If so which mint?

Also I thought I saw a doubled "dot" on the star fish on rev. hehehehe, drove me crazy. It was a short drive!

Much too fancy and nice looking than our mint would ever produce for one cent coinage. <--- here is hoping they will wise up and find us a new design to enjoy!
