Interesting fact

The 1½ Bits (Moco) coin from Tobago (Trinidad and Tobago) made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the island was still a British colony. The coin was minted in 1798, and it features a unique design that reflects the island's history and culture. The coin's silver content also gives it a high intrinsic value, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
