Interesting fact
The Raid on Tokyo - Doolittle coin from the Marshall Islands features an error in its design. The coin was intended to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid, a World War II operation in which American bombers attacked Tokyo. However, the coin's design mistakenly depicts a B-29 Superfortress, which was not used in the Doolittle Raid. Instead, the raid used B-25 Mitchell bombers. This error makes the coin a unique and interesting collector's item.
