One interesting fact about the 11 Bits coin from Dominica is that it has a unique crenellated center hole, which was a common feature in Mexican coins of the time. This feature was used to prevent the coin from being tampered with or counterfeited. The crenellations also gave the coin a distinctive look, making it easily recognizable and harder to counterfeit.
