Interesting fact
The 6 Bits coin from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, made of silver, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the country was still a British colony. The coin was introduced in 1811 and was used until 1814, when it was replaced by the British Guilders. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number of coins minted during its production run.
