Interesting fact
The 9 Bits coin from Trinidad (Trinidad and Tobago) was a unique currency that was used during a specific period in the country's history. It was introduced in 1811 and was equal to 1/8 of a Spanish dollar, which was the standard currency used in the country at the time. The coin was made of silver and had a distinctive design that featured a crowned shield with the Spanish coat of arms on one side, and the value of the coin on the other. The use of the 9 Bits coin was eventually discontinued, but it remains an interesting piece of Trinidad and Tobago's numismatic history.
