Interesting fact

The 10 Dollar silver coin from the Eastern Caribbean States featuring Queen Elizabeth II, issued in 1996, has a unique feature. It's a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but instead, it was produced for collectors and to commemorate a special event, in this case, the Royal Launch.
