We collect 10 cent coins here in the U.S. but say Europeans are not likely too. People that collect fish coins or sea creatures would buy your coin as well as one coin from every country collectors. It can be found in most dealers world coin box for .10 to .25 cents. You do have the start of either type of coin collecting as I mentioned above. Coin collecting need not be expensive but can be a fun and learning experience. World coins of low denominations usually have small value in countries other than the one that minted it.

They are very good about assisting with weddings. They take care of the paperwork for The Bahamas. Make sure you work with them and don't try to figure it all out on your own. If you are a US citizen the marriage will have to be registered at the US Embassy there.

]]> Comment on Anybody have any info on these 1966 Bahama Islands coins? by Taiping http://bahama-islands.com/blog/?p=935&cpage=1#comment-1314 Taiping Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:55:49 +0000 #comment-1314 You have a mint set from the Bahama Islands, it had a mintage of 75,050 and at the time sold for $16. Today book value is $20. Since not all the coins are there it has no value as a mint set. The 1 dollar coin is .800 silver with .4666 oz actual silver weight and the $2 (.8863 oz actual silver weight) & $5 (1.2527 oz of actual silver weight)dollar coins are ,925 silver, The value of those coins depends on the price of silver at the time of sale. By the looks of things it is best to sell the top 3 coins and toss the rest. It is not uncommon for mint sets to actually sell for less than if one sells the larger denominations separately. Hope this helps. You have a mint set from the Bahama Islands, it had a mintage of 75,050 and at the time sold for $16. Today book value is $20.

Hope this helps.

You claimed the Carnival destiny had issues back in 1996. Yet i remember earlier this year w/ Cruise critic being filled w/complaints about the ship. And when I Google "Carnival Destiny" there are page after page of complaints about this ship. Carnival issued a press release this year saying the ship had "propulsion issues". John, why does Google VASTLY contradict what you posted? John, I am confused in this area your most recent blog post and I marvel if you could clarify a touch?
