Interesting fact
The 1975 Jamaican $10 Christopher Columbus coin made of copper-nickel is interesting because it was issued to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the Caribbean, but it features a design error. The coin depicts Columbus' ship, the Santa Maria, with three masts instead of the actual four masts that the ship had. This error was not corrected, and the coin was still issued and sold to collectors.
