Interesting fact

The 15 cent coin from the Bahamas, made of copper-nickel, has a unique feature. It has a hole in the center, which was designed to help distinguish it from other coins. This hole was added to the coin's design to make it easily identifiable, especially for those with visual impairments. This feature is not commonly found in other coins, making it a distinctive characteristic of the Bahamian 15 cent coin.
